MCB 62

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion SIX TWO (MCB 62), also known as the "Seabees," was commissioned in 1942 during World War II. The unit played a critical role in constructing airstrips, bases, and other vital infrastructure in the Pacific Theater, supporting Allied operations against Japanese forces. After World War II, MCB 62 was reactivated multiple times, notably serving in the Vietnam War, where it built roads, bridges, and defensive structures. The battalion continued to support U.S. Navy and Marine Corps missions worldwide until its decommissioning in 1994.
