CHINHAE, South Korea (Aug. 13, 2019) U. S. Navy Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4, worked with Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 2 Sailors during a Command Post Training and Port Damage Repair (PDR) evolution, Aug 12-13.
A crew of Seabees trained in the development of operational capabilities by using the ROK’s Port Damage Repair trainer to restore a destroyed pier. The Seabees used teamwork and shared technical skills throughout the evolution to enhance the quality of the training.
“You could tell from the start that the methods of executing the task were going to be different between the Seabees and the ROK Sailors, but the mission was the same,” said Builder 2nd Class Bailey Jones.
The training enabled the Seabees to enhance both team’s skill sets and increase the understanding of each other’s capabilities. Combined ROK-US training strengthens and sustains the alliance between the two nations, while maintaining the training and standard of readiness for the Sailors involved.
“The overall experience was eye opening. Getting to work the ROK Seabees was fulfilling. I was glad Detail Chinhae was able to be a part of this evolution,” said Melvin.
