NMCB-3 History
The 3rd U.S. Naval Construction Battalion (NCB), one of the first Seabee units in World War II, played a crucial role in constructing bases in the Southern Pacific, operating as autonomous detachments across the Marshall Islands campaign. After disbanding in 1944, it was reactivated in 1950 in Port Hueneme, California. Over the years, NMCB THREE engaged in significant construction projects, including building Naval Air Station Cubi Point in the Philippines, Marine Corps Air Facility Futema in Okinawa, and participating in Vietnam, constructing over 500 facilities. The battalion also undertook disaster recovery and construction operations in Guam, Diego Garcia, and responded to various natural disasters, earning multiple recognitions, including the "Best of Type" and the prestigious Peltier Award. Their deployments spanned global theaters, from disaster relief in North Africa to supporting operations in Iraq and Kosovo. Notable for its mobility and versatility, NMCB THREE has consistently demonstrated excellence in construction, engineering, and disaster recovery, exemplified by their awards for efficiency and personnel programs. Their legacy of contingency construction and disaster recovery has been distinguished and enduring, reflecting the Seabees' "Can Do" spirit across decades of service. Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist The Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist insignia is a United States Navy warfare qualification awarded to personnel assigned to units within the Naval Construction Force (Seabees), such as Naval Construction Groups, Regiments, Mobile Construction Battalions, Underwater Construction Teams, Maintenance Units, and Amphibious Construction Battalions. Eligibility extends primarily to enlisted Seabee Occupational Field ratings and Civil Engineer Corps members, but any officer or enlisted member in a qualifying unit who completes the required criteria may earn it. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency across a broad range of naval and military subjects, including naval heritage, command and control, safety, logistics, communications, weapons, military tactics, and chemical, biological, and radiological warfare. This involves preparatory coursework, Performance Qualification Standards (PQS) for both general and unit-specific knowledge, an officer-specific PQS for officers, career performance and physical fitness standards, participation in field training or operations, a written test, a preparatory oral board, and a final comprehensive oral examination. The insignia, issued in silver for enlisted personnel and gold for officers, features an armed Seabee over a crossed sword and rifle atop oak leaves, symbolizing the Seabees. Authorized by the "Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist" instruction in March 1992, the insignia designator (SCW) is added to the rating designator of those qualified. The first recipient was its designer, Commander Ross S. Selvidge, in March 1993.
