CBC Gulfport

The Construction Battalion Center (CBC) Gulfport, located in Gulfport, Mississippi, serves as a crucial hub for the United States Navy's Seabees, the Naval Construction Force. Established during World War II in 1942, CBC Gulfport initially supported the rapid training and deployment of construction battalions to the Pacific Theater. Over the decades, the base has evolved into a primary training and logistical center, supporting global Seabee operations, humanitarian missions, and disaster response. Today, CBC Gulfport continues to play a vital role in ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of Navy construction units worldwide.
