    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms and helmets are working together on what appears to be a military bridge construction or assembly exercise. The soldiers are bent over and actively handling metal and wooden bridge components, suggesting a combat engineering training activity. The setting is an outdoor training area with dry, hilly terrain and sparse trees in the background.

    Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3’s Bridge Detachment work together to remove a section of a Bailey bridge in order to replace it with a timber bridge. The previous Bailey bridge had to be removed in order to be used elsewhere on Fort Hunter Liggett so the Seabees built a timber bridge during their pre deployment field training exercise. This was the first time that a permanent bridge was built during an FTX. Prior to every deployment Seabee Battalions conduct a 2-4 week FTX that tests all of their skills in a tactical environment before each deployment. NMCB 3 is an expeditionary element of U.S. naval forces providing construction, engineering and security services in support of national strategy, naval power projection, humanitarian assistance and contingency operations.
