Abstract

This article provides a timeline of the US Navy's Construction Battalions, known as the Seabees, from their formation in 1942 to their involvement in various conflicts and operations. The Seabees were created in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the need for a military unit to replace civilian contractors. They played a crucial role in World War II, including the Normandy Campaign and the Battle of Iwo Jima. The article also highlights the racial segregation within the Seabees and their contributions to nuclear testing, humanitarian missions, and training Afghan engineering brigades.
