102.1 DISCUSS THE CONDITIONS THAT LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE
U.S. NAVY.
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON INITIATED AMERICAS FIRST SEA-BASED OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE BRITISH. WASHINGTONS ARMED VESSELS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT TO COLONIAL EFFORTS, DEMONSTRATING THE VALUE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS AT SEA.
THE INITIAL CONTINENTAL FLEET WAS COMPRISED FROM CONVERTED MERCHANTMEN.
AS CONGRESS CONTINUED TO COMMISSION SHIPS, NOTABLE LEADERS SUCH AS JOHN PAUL JONES HELPED TO DEVELOP A PROUD CAPABLE NAVY.
EARLY FLEETS WERE MANNED BY MARINES AS PART OF THIER SHIPS CREWS.
IN ESSENCE, THE FIRST MARINES WERE SOLDIERS DETAILED FOR SEA SERVICE.
CONGRESS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE FOR MARINES AS LONG AS THERE WAS ONE NAVY SHIP STILL AT SEA.
POST REVOLUTIONARY WAR
BOTH THE CONTINENTAL NAVY AND MARINE CORPS WERE DISBANDED.
1790
A FLEET OF "10 BOATS FOR THE COLLECTION OF REVENUE" WAS AUTHORIZED AND BECAME COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE REVENUE MARINE.
1794
CONGRESS AUTHORIZED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO CONSTRUCT SIX FRIGATES, FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN MERCHANTMEN AGAINST THE BARBARY CORSAIRS.
1798
FOUR YEARS LATER, IN RESPONSE TO RENEWED AGGRESSION BY FRANCE DURING ITS WAR AGAINST BREAT BRITIAN, CONGRESS FINALLY ESTABLISHED THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, AUTHORIZED THE MARINE CORPS, AND BEGAN THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT BUILDUP OF NAVAL FORCES AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY.
THREE MARITIME SERVICES OF TODAY
- NAVY
- MARINE CORPS
- COAST GAURD
102.2 STATE THE QUALITIES THAT CHARACTERIZE THE NAVY/MARINE CORPS TEAM AS INSTRUMENTS TO SUPPORT NATIONAL POLICIES.
THE QUALITIES THAT CHARACTERIZE MOST MODERN NAVAL FORCES AS POLITICAL INSTRUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL POLICIES ARE THE SAME AS THOSE THAT DEFINE THE ESSENCE OF OUR NAVAL SERVICES TODAY. THESE QUALITIES ARE READINESS, FLEXIBILITY, SELF-SUSTAINABILITY, AND MOBILITY.
THESE QUALITIES PERMIT NAVAL FORCES TO BE EXPEDITIONARY.
NAVAL EXPEDITIONARY FORCES DRAW UPON THIER READINESS, FLEXIBILITY, SELF-SUSTAINABILITY, AND MOBILITY TO PROVIDE THE NATIONAL COMMAND.
101.3 DISCUSS THE CONDITIONS THAT LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE SEABEES.
PRIOR TO 1941, THE CIVIL ENGINEER CORPS USED PRIVATE CONTRACTORS TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OVERSEAS CONSTRUCTION.
THE CONTRACTORS, IN TURN, HIRED STEELWORKERS, ELECTRICIANS, CARPENTERS, DRATSMAN, AND MECHANICS FROM PRIVATE INDUSTRY.
THE NAVY REALIZED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF WAR, CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS AND CONSTRUCTION WORKERS COULD NOT BE USED VERY WELL OUTSIDE OUR OWN COUNTRY.
AS WORLD WAR II DREW NEAR, THERE WAS AN URGENT NEED FOR MORE OVERSEAS BASES.
IT BECAME CLEAR THERE WAS AN URGENT NEED FOR A COMBAT TRAINED MILITARY CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATION.
THE FIRST CONSTRUCTION UNITS WERE ORGANIZED EARLY IN JANUARY 1942.
101.4 DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MARCH 5, 1942 AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SEABEES.
THE NAME SEABEES IS DERIVED FROM THE FIRST CONSTRUCTION BATTALIONS (CB'S) THAT WERE ORGANIZED EARLY IN JANUARY 1942.
OFFICIALLY, PERMISSION TO USE THE NAME "SEABEE" WAS GRANTED ON 05 MARCH 1942.
SEABEE BIRTHDAY
101.5 DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FOLLOWING PERSONNEL:
A) ADMIRAL BEN MOREELL
FATHER OF THE SEABEE'S
REAR ADMIRAL BEN MOREELL, CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF YARDS AND DOCKS, DECIDED TO ACTIVATE, ORGANIZE AND MAN CONSTRUCTION BATTALIONS AFTER THE ATTACK OF PEARL HARBOR, ON 07 DECEMBER 1941.
HE REQUESTED SPECIFIC AUTHORITY TO CARRY OUT HIS DECISION.
ON 05 JANUARY 1942 HE GAINED THE AUTHORITY FOR THE BUREAU OF NAVIGATION TO RECRUIT MEN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION TRADES FOR ASSIGNMENT TO THE NAVAL CONSTRUCTION REGIMENT COMPOSED OF THREE NAVAL CONSTRUCTION BATTALIONS.
THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE RENOWNED SEABEES.
B) CM3 MARVIN SHIELD
MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER
THE FIRST SEABEE IN HISTORY TO RECIEVE THE MEDAL OF HONOR FOR HIS HEROIC EFFORTS IN DEFENSE OF A SPECIAL FORCES CAMP AND VIETNAMESE DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS AT DONG XOAI, REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM.
C) SW2 ROBERT STETHEM
PURPLE HEART AND BRONZE STAR RECIPIENT
EXECUTED IN JUNE 1985 DURING HIJACKING OF A TWA JET IN LEBANON AFTER BEING SINGLED OUT BY TERRORISTS FOR BEING IN THE MILITARY
"THROUGHOUT HIS ORDEAL, PETTY OFFICER STETHEM DID NOT YIELD, INSTEAD HE ACTED WITH FORTITUDE AND COURAGE AND HELPED HIS FELLOW PASSENGERS TO ENDURE BY HIS EXAMPLE" VADM DAVID ROBINSON
101.6 STATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING TO NAVAL OPERATIONS
NAVAL PLANNING IS FUNDAMENTAL TO LEADERSHIP. PLANNING PROVIDES THE DISCIPLINE TO FOCUS ON THE OBJECTIVES, INTENTIONS, CAPABILITIES, AND RESOURCES REQUIRED TO ACCOMPLISH ASSIGNED MISSIONS. PLANNING ALSO REQUIRES COMMANDERS TO ESTIMATE THE CAPABILITIES OF A POTENTIAL ADVERSARY AND TO EVALUATE OPTIONS.
101.7 DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY THE SEABEES DURING THE FOLLOWING:
A) WORLD WAR II
CREATED BY ADMIRAL BEN MOREELL IN 1942, THE NAVYS SEABEES WERE FOUNDED ON THE PREMISE THAT EXPERIENCED ARMED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WERE CRITICALLY NEEDED IN THE COMBAT AREAS OF WORLD WAR II. THE CONSTRUCTION ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE SEABEES THROUGHOUT THE PACIFIC THEATER, IN PARTICULAR, ARE QUITE LEGENDARY.
USING 20-TON BULLDOZERS AS WANDS, SEABEES MAGICALLY RESHAPED THE CORAL-POCKED FACE OF MANY A PACIFIC ISLAND. LANDING SHORTLY AFTER THE ASSUALT WAVES, THEY BLASTED REEFS TO MAKE CHANNELS FOR THE FLEET; LEVELED HILLS AND LAID DOWN LANDING STRIPS; LASHED TOGETHER PONTOONS TO CREATE ARTIFICIAL DOCKS; AND BROUGHT TO MANY A REMOTE PACIFIC ISLAND ITS FIRST ROADS, STORAGE FACILITIES, AND HOSPITALS. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THE SEABEES USED THEIR BULLDOZERS TO ENTOMB NESTS OF ENEMY SNIPERS AND MACHINE GUNNERS MENACING MARINE OR ARMY FORCES.
DURING THE WARS PACIFIC ISLAND-HOPPING CAMPAIGNS, OVER 10,000 CIVIL ENGINEER CORPS OFFICERS AND 240,000 ENLISTED MEN SERVED IN THE SEABEES, MOSTLY IN NCB'S THAT WERE COMPONENTS OF THE FIVE MARINE ENGINEER REGIMENTS EMPLOYED FROM 1942 TO 1944.
FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEFENSE OF GUADALCANALS HENDERSON FIELD TO THE NORMANDY INVASION, SEABEES PARTICIPATED IN MOST OF THE MAJOR NAVY, MARINE, AND ARMY ASSAULTS, FIGHTING IN MORE THAN 400 LOCATIONS IN ALL THEATERS BY THE END OF THE WAR.
AS A PRELUDE TO GUADALCANAL, SEABEES ON ESPIRITU SANTO TOOK ONLY 20 DAYS TO CARVE A 6000 FT AIRSTRIP FROM VIRGIN JUNGLE.
JOINING THE 1ST MARDIV IN THIER ASSUALT ON CAPE GLOUCESTER, SEABEES BULLDOZED PATHS FOR ATTACKING AMERICAN TANKS.
IN THE ADMIRALITIES, SEABEES TRANSFORMED MANUS AND LOS NEGROS INTO THE LARGEST ADVANCED BASES IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC.
AT RABAUL, SEABEAS BUILT A STRATEGIC, TWO-FIELD AIR BASE, IMMENSE STORAGE AND FUEL DUMPS, A FLOATING DRY-DOCK, MILES OF ROADS, AND A FAST TORPEDO BOAT BASE.
ON LEYTE ISLAND, IT WAS THE SEABEES WHO INSTALLED AND OPERATED PONTOON BARGES AND CAUSEWAYS THAT BROUGHT GENERA MACARTHUR AND HIS FORCES ASHORE.
AT TARAWA, SEABEES LANDED WITH THE MARINES AND, IN A MERE 15 HOURS, RETURNED A SHELL POCKED AIRFIELD TO OPERATIONAL STATUS.
ON IWO JIMA, SEABEES LANDING WITH THE FIFTH AMPHIBIOUS CORPS BUILT FIGHTER AIRSTRIPS AS WELL AS AN EMERGENCY LANDING FIELD CRITICALLY NEEDED BY RETURNING DAMAGED BOMBERS.
SEABEE - INSTALLED PONTOONS ON OKINAWA ENABLED THE AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT TO MOVE FORWARD. ONCE ASHORE, 55,000 SEABEES BUILT PORT FACILITIES, VAST ROAD NETWORKS, AIRFIELDS, POL FARMS, STORAGE DUMPS, HOSPITALS, SHIP REPAIR FACILITIES, A SEAPLANE BASE, AND QUONSET VILLAGES.
IN THE PACIFIC THEATER ALONE, THE SEABEES BUILT 111 MAJOR AIRSTRIPS, 700 SQUARE BLOCKS OF WAREHOUSES, HOSPITALS FOR 70,000 PATIENTS, STORAGE TANKS FOR 100 MILLION GALLONS OF GASOLINE, AND HOUSING FOR 1.5 MILLION SERVICEMEN.
ALTHOUGH THE SEABEES WERE KNOWN AS A NAVAL RESERVE ORGANIZATION DURING THE WAR, IT BECAME CLEAR AFTERWARDS THAT THE SEABEES, HAVING MORE THAN PROVED THEIR WORTH, WOULD BE VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE REGULAR NAVY.
B) KOREA
BY JUNE OF 1950, THE SEABEES ALL BUT DISESTABLISHED AS ONLY 3,300 MEN REMAINED ON ACTIVE DUTY.
THE KOREAN WAR, HOWEVER, DEMANDED THE KIND OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SUPPORT THAT ONLY SEABEES COULD PROVIDE, AND SO THEY WERE MOBILIZED AND EXPANDED TO A FORCE OF 14,000 MEN.
SEABEES SUPPORTED MARINES IN THE FAMOUS INCHON AND WONSAN AMPHBIOUS ASSAULTS BY CONSTRUCTING VITAL PONTOON CAUSEWAYS WITHIN HOURS OF THE INITIAL LANDINGS.
AS THIER WORLD WAR II PREDECESSORS, AIRFIELD CONSTRUCTION WAS A SPECIALTY OF THE SEABEES AS THEY WERE SOON FOUND CONSTRUCTING, REPAIRING, AND MAINTAINING THE AIRFIELDS OF THE MARINE AIR GROUPS, SUCH AS K-3 AT POHANG, K-18 AT KIMPO (SEOUL), AND K-2 AT TAEGU.
SEABEE RELATIONS WITH MARINES WERE FURTHER CEMENTED BY A GROUP OF NINE SEABEES WHO KEPT OPEN A 21-MILE STRETCH OF ROAD BETWEEN AN ISOLATED MARINE INTERCEPT SQUADRON AND ITS SOLE SOURCE OF SUPPLIES. WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK IN BELOW-ZERO TEMPERATURES, THEY KEPT THEIR PROMISE TO REBUILD ANY DAMAGED BRIDGE WITHIN 6 HOURS.
ALSO, DURING THE KOREAN WAR, SEABEES CONSTRUCTED THE CUBI POINT NAVAL AIR STATION IN THE PHILIPPINES BY CUTTING A MOUNTAIN IN HALF TO MAKE WAY FOR A NEARLY 2-MILE-LONG RUNWAY, BLASTING CORAL TO FILL A SECTION OF SUBIC BAY, FILLING SWAMPLAND, MOVING 150-FOOT TREES, AND RELOCATING A NATIVE FISHING VILLAGE. TWENTY MILLION MAN HOURS AND 5 YEARS WENT INTO WHAT WAS THEN THE LARGEST AND MOST IMPRESSIVE SEABEE PROJECT.
C. VIETNAM
DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, SEABEES WERE EMPLOYED EXTENSIVELY FROM THE DMZ IN THE NORTH TO THE MEKONG DELTA REGION IN THE SOUTH, CONSTRUCTING MARINE LOGISTIC COMPLEXES AT DANANG, CHU LAI, AND QUANG TRI TO SPECIAL FORCES CAMPS AND ARMY FIRE BASES IN THE REMOTE REGIONS, AS WELL AS ROADS, BRIDGES, AIRFIELDS, WAREHOUSES, AND HOSPITALS ELSEWHERE.
AT THE INITIAL MARINE LANDINGS IN VIETNAM IN 1965, THERE WERE NEARLY 10,000 ACTIVE DUTY SEABEES.
AT CHU LAI, THE FIRST SEABEE BATTALION ARRIVED IN MAY 1965 TO CONSTRUCT A MARINE EXPEDITIONARY AIRFIELD WITHIN 23 DAYS. SHORTLY AFTER, IT WAS EXPANDED BY ADDING A PARALLEL TAXIWAY, FOUR CROSS TAXIWAYS, PARKING APRONS, TWO CANTONMENTS, WAREHOUSES, HANGARS, AND MANY OTHER CRITICAL FACILITIES.
AT PHU BAI, THE SEABEES CREATED AN ADVANCED BASE FROM A LOW PENINSULA JUTTING 1,500 FEET INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA BY RAISING, WIDENING, AND SURFACING IT INTO A CAUSEWAY FOR CARGO-LADEN LANDING SHIPS.
DURING 1968, TET OFFENSIVE, SEABEES BUILT AND FOUGHT IN DIRECT SUPPORT OF MARINE AND ARMY FORCES BY RECONSTRUCTING TWO VITALLY NEEDED CONCRETE BRIDGES.
SEABEE CIVIC ACTION PROJECTS PAVED ROADS THAT PROVIDED ACCESS BETWEEN FARMS AND MARKETS; SUPPLIED FRESH WATER THROUGH HUNDREDS OF SEABEE DRILLED WELLS; PROVIDED MEDICAL TREATMENT TO THOUSANDS OF VILLAGERS; AND CONSTRUCTED NUMEROUS SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, UTILITY SYSTEMS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY FACILITIES.
IN JUNE OF 1965, TWO SEABEES WERE KILLED WHEN VIET CONG TROOPS ATTACKED AND OVERRAN A SPECIAL FORCES CAMP AT DONG XOAI. ONE OF THE DEAD, CM3 MARVIN G. SHIELDS, WAS POSTHUMOUSLY AWARDED THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR FOR CARRYING A CRITICALLY WOUNDED MAN TO SAFETY AND DESTROYING AN ENEMY MACHINE GUN EMPLACEMENT AT THE COST OF HIS LIFE. CM3 SHIELDS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY SEABEE EVER AWARDED THE NATIONS HIGHEST DISTINCTION FOR HEROISM.
D. POST VIETNAM
THE SEABEES DISTINGUISHED THEMSELVES WITH THE LARGEST PEACETIME CONSTRUCTION EFFORT ON THE BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY OF DIEGO GARCIA. FROM 1971 TO 1983, THEY BUILT A REMOTE FORWARD LOGISTIC BASE AND NAVAL COMMUNICATIONS STATION THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM CONUS IN SUPPORT OF U.S. MILITARY OPERATIONS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST ASIAN THEATER.
THE MISSION OF THE INITIAL CONTIGENT, CONSISTING OF NMCB AND PHIBCB PERSONNEL, WAS TO BUILD A TEMPORARY SEABEE CAMP; WATER AND ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS; MESSING, LAUNDRY, REFRIGERATION, AND STORAGE FACILITIES; AND A 3,500 FOOT AIRSTRIP.
BY 1983, THE SEABEES HAD COMPLETED 220 PROJECTS WITH A CONSTRUCTION VALUE WELL IN EXCESS OF 220 MILLION DOLLARS.
THE EARLY, AUSTERE AIRSTRIP HAS BEEN EXPANDED THREE TIMES TO A FINAL 12,000 FOOT LENGTH WITH EXPANDED TAXIWAYS, PARKING APRONS, AND SEVERAL NEW HANGARS.
IMMENSE POL STORAGE FACILITIES FOR BOTH NAVY AND AIR FORCE WERE ALSO CONSTRUCTED, AS WERE A FUEL PEIR, GENERAL STORAGE BUILDINGS, AND EXPANDED PERSONNEL SUPPORT FACILITIES.
THE NEED FOR PRE-POSITIONED MATERIALS TO SUPPORT A RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE AND A MORE ACTIVE U.S. PRESENCE IN SOUTHWEST ASIA SPURRED THE GROWTH OF THE FORWARD LOGISTIC SUPPORT SITE ON THE ISLAND.
AS A RESULT, DIEGO GARCIA TODAY IS HOME TO ONE OF THE MPF'S THREE MPSRON'S.
E. PERSIAN GULF WAR
DURING OPERATIONS DESERT SHIELD AND DESERT STORM, NEARLY 5,000 SEABEES FROM 6 NMCB'S WERE EMPLOYED IN-THEATER. THE SEABEE CONSTRUCTED TROOP BEDDOWN FACILITIES FOR 42,000 PERSONNEL, VAST STORAGE AREAS, AIRCRAFT PARKING APRONS COMPRIMISING MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET.
ASP'S COVERING HUNDREDS OF ACRES, EPW CAMPS HOUSING 40,000 MEN, MANY ISB'S AND HUNDREDS OF MILES OF ROADS. BASE CAMPS WERE CONSTRUCTED FOR THE 3RD MAW; MAG 11, 13, 16 AND 26; AND THE 1ST AND 2ND MARDIVS.
IN BAHRAIN, TROOP BEDDOWN AND STORAGE FACILITIES, A MUNITIONS TRANSFER ROAD, AND A 60,000 SQUARE FOOT AIRCRAFT PARKING APRON WERE BUILT FOR THE MARINES, ARMY, AND AIR FORCE. MAJR SEABEE TASKING INCLUDED A HEADQUARTERS COMPLEX FOR I MEF AND A 15,000 MAN TROOP BEDDOWN CAMP FOR II MEF. THE LATTER PROJECT (LARGEST WARTIME, MULTIBATTALION SEABEE PROJECT SINCE VIETNAM) CONSISTED OF SIX 2,500 MAN MODULES WITH EACH MODULE PROVIDING BERTHING, SHOWERS, LATRINES, GALLEY, OFFICE SPACE, ROADS, AND PARKING AREAS.
PHIBCB PERSONNEL OFFLOADED MARINE CORPS EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FROM MPF SHIPPING.
CBU PERSONNEL ERECTED AND MAINTAINED A 500 BED NAVY FLEET HOSPITAL AT AL JUBAIL. IT WAS THE SEABEES WHO BUILT AND MAINTAINED THE 200 MILE, FOUR LANE MAIN SUPPLY ROUTE NEAR THE KUWAITI BORDER CRITICAL TO LAUNCHING AND SUSTAINING THE FAMOUS "HAIL MARY" GROUND ATTACK PLAN INTO IRAQ.
SEABEES SUPPORTED I MEF IN PREPARATION FOR THE ASSAULT INTO KUWAIT BY PROVIDING WATER AND CONSTRUCTING ROADS AND FACILITIES FOR THE MARINE DIVISION ASSEMBLY AREAS. JUST BEFORE THE ASSAULT, SEABEES DUG IN THE 1ST MARDIVS COMMAND ELEMENT AS THE DIVISION MOVED INTO ATTACK POSITIONS.
ONCE THE ASSAULT BEGAN, SEABEES MOVED INTO KUWAIT AND PREPARED POSITIONS FOR 1 MEF'S CE. BEFORE THEY WERE FINISHED SEABEE PROJECTS INCLUDED TENT CAMPS FOR 42,000 PERSONNEL, THREE GALLEYS, 10 AIRCRAFT PARKING APRONS, 5 ASP'S, 2 EAF'S, 2 HANGARS, AND SEVERAL EPW CAMPS.
DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM ALSO SAW THE LARGEST MOBILIZATION OF SELECTED RESERVE SEABEES SINCE VIETNAM AS THREE RESERVE NMCBS AND A RESERVE NAVAL CONSTRUCTION REGIMENT CE SERVED TOGETHER WITH THIER ACTIVE COUNTERPARTS IN THEATER AND AT OTHER LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE, THUS EXEMPLIFYING THE "ONE NAVY, TOTAL FORCE" CONCEPT.
