NMCB-7

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion SEVEN (NMCB-7), known as the "Magnificent Seven," was first commissioned in 1942 during World War II as part of the U.S. Navy Seabees. The battalion distinguished itself by constructing vital airstrips, bases, and infrastructure in the Pacific Theater, including operations in Guadalcanal and Okinawa. Reactivated during the Cold War and serving in Vietnam, NMCB-7 continued its legacy through humanitarian missions and support of military operations worldwide. The unit deployed multiple times in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom before being decommissioned in 2012.
