MALAGANA, Colombia - Seven Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133 are currently assisting the Colombian Marines Mobility Battalion No. 1 with the construction of a vehicle training course in Malagana, Colombia.
Created five years ago, the mobility battalion is relatively new and in the future their training course will host Colombian Humvees, trucks, and tanks from other units. The course will help vehicle operators hone their tactical driving skills to include barrier navigation, rough terrain traversal and narrow area crossings.
This effort is in direct support of Colombia’s initiative to modernize their military and will help turn the Malagana Base into a pivotal hub for vehicle training. The Malagana base is located in an area that was liberated from narcotics traffickers in 2008 and supports ongoing training for the forces involved in Colombia’s current internal fight against drug trafficking around the country.
