CBU-201

CBU-201, or Construction Battalion Unit 201, was a United States Navy Seabee unit established during World War II. Formed in 1942, CBU-201 played a critical role in the Pacific Theater, constructing airstrips, bases, and other vital infrastructure under combat conditions. The unit was noted for its rapid construction capabilities, enabling Allied forces to maintain operational momentum during island-hopping campaigns. After the war, CBU-201 contributed to post-conflict reconstruction before being decommissioned as the Seabees were reorganized in the postwar era.
