NMCB-27 History
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 27 was established in July 1968 and initially headquartered in Boston, moving through several locations before settling at Naval Air Station (NAS) Brunswick, Maine, from 1968 to 2010. Due to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) actions, it relocated to Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, in August 2010. NMCB-27 is part of the 7th Naval Construction Regiment, covering the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Post-2014 Navy Seabee Reserve realignment, it became one of six remaining Reserve Seabee Battalions, a reduction from fifteen in 1991. NMCB-27 oversees Reserve Seabees in New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, with support from a small active duty staff and Navy Operation Support Centers in the region. The battalion's command structure is led by the commanding officer, executive officer, and includes a command master chief as the enlisted personnel's representative. It operates with a unique element of command and control, distinguishing it from other Navy Reserve drilling units that attach to active duty commands. NMCB-27 trains regularly at various locations, including its Readiness Support Site at Westover ARB and the 2nd Naval Construction Group in Gulfport, Mississippi, maintaining a vital role in the Seabee community and the broader naval construction efforts. 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.
