Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 demonstrate how to properly layout a forward operating base during a battalion-wide military skills competition at Camp Shields. The competition capped off a week-long block of military instruction designed to ensure NMCB 3 remains at its highest readiness levels. NMCB 3's main body is deployed to Okinawa with nine details performing critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams are also conducting operations in Atsugi and Yokosuka, Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea; and China Lake and San Clemente Island, Calif.
