U.S. Pacific Fleet Master Chief Marco Ramirez learns how to operate a D6T dozer while touring Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3’s Alfa yard at Camp Shields, Wednesday. Following, Ramirez answered questions while addressing NMCB 3 Seabees to help share Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet Adm. Harry B. Harris’ vision, guiding principles, and strategic imperatives. One of the first battalions commissioned during World War II, NMCB 3’s legacy stands strong in its ability to build and fight anywhere in the world as either a full battalion or as a group of autonomous detachments, simultaneously completing critical engineering and construction missions. For this deployment, NMCB 3 has split into nine details to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams will also conduct operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea and China Lake, Calif. The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Chris Fahey/RELEASED).
