MCB-71

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 71 (MCB-71), known as the "Ragin' Seabees," was commissioned in 1966 as part of the U.S. Navy Seabees. The battalion played a significant role during the Vietnam War, constructing bases, airfields, roads, and other vital infrastructure under combat conditions. After Vietnam, MCB-71 continued to support U.S. military operations worldwide, including deployments to the Mediterranean, the Arctic, and the Caribbean, contributing to both military readiness and humanitarian missions. The unit was decommissioned in 1994, leaving behind a legacy of engineering excellence and service.
