Abstract

Abstract : In 2003 the First Naval Construction Division (1st NCD) and its various Construction Battalions (Seabees) participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). In this war the 1st NCD and the Seabees were able to use for the first time in a war situation two new concepts - the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) Engineer Group (MEG) and Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams (SERTs). The Seabees used these new concepts in fulfilling its mission both during the war and afterwards in post-conflict reconstruction efforts in Iraq. This paper will examine the use of these new concepts and their resulting effectiveness.
