    NMCB 3 prepares to make ‘significant difference’ in Timor-Leste

    Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3's Timor-Leste Detachment Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Navy Lt. Brent Oglesby, right, officially relieves NMCB 5’s OIC Ens. Heidi Lawrenz during a change-of-charge ceremony Aug. 9 at Camp Lenhoff in Dili, Timor-Leste. The “Better Than Best” team is currently deployed to the Pacific region to help the Timorese government rehabilitate two primary school buildings to include new roofing, doors, windows, general repairs, construct a latrine facility, kitchen and build fencing. NMCB 3 will also assist in the construction of a rock jetty to be used to the Timorese Maritime Police Unit. Lastly, they will provide subject matter experts to assess the condition and make repairs to the community’s medical clinics, engage in exchanges with Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL) engineers through the Australian-led Defense Cooperation Program (DCP) designed to mutually enhance the skills of the Seabees and the F-FDTL. Seabee battalions have operated in the Pacific for more than 70 years. Through those decades, they have built relationships critical to sustaining regional security and stability. NMCB 3 provides commanders and Navy component commanders with combat ready warfighters capable of general engineering, construction and limited combat engineering across the full range of military operations.
