EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

US Naval Mobile Construction Battalion ONE THIRTY THREE deployed from Gulfport Mississippi in September 1994 with the mainbody at Camp Covington Guam details to Diego Garcia and San Diego and a deployment for training (DFr) to Southwest Asia During the deployment period of 07 September 1994 to 14 April 1995 the battalion deployed a detail to Chinhae Korea and DFrs to Ban Chan Khrem Thailand in support of exercise Cobra Gold 95 and to El Salvador in support of exercise Fuertes Caminos 95 South The battalions priorities were safety quality and productivity and our goals were to develop the leadership and construction skills of our Seabees while providing our customers with quality finished projects that enhanced their readiness and quality of life Feedback from our customers at all deployment sites and the following synopsis of the battalions efforts underscore our success in establishing our priorities and meeting our goals

AdministrationSpecial Staffs

The Admin and Personnel staffs provided timely support throughout the deployment managing records and travel arrangements in a very dynamic environment They supported the deployment of two DFrs from Guam and the establishment of detail Chinhae Korea on a weeks notice The most significant problem encountered by the Admin staff was the need for official and tourist passports for members of DFrs and those battalion members traveling to visit the details and DFfs

All other special staffs including Medical Dental Career Counselor DAPA Special Services and Legal received exceptional support from permanent party counterparts on Guam and at the detail sites Each of these outlets was able to provide quality service to the battalion throughout the deployment without exception

Safety

As a result of the total commitment of the chain of command and the support of the NAVACTS Guam Safety Manager and Industrial Hygienist the battalions safety-program was extreme1y effective and had no reportable jobsite injuries during the entire deployment Detail sites received assistance from the mainbody and local safety offices in managing aggressive and successful programs

Training

Over 9 500 mandays of training were conducted on Guam and the detail sites The battalion took advantage of the host commands courses and instructors whenever possible providing a well rounded training program enhancing military construction and leadership skills

The battalions military readiness was exercised in Kennel Bear 95-1 the deployed

l Enclosure (1)

FEX on Guam The THIRD Brigade with assistance from NMCB SEVENTEEN and Marines from Weapons Company 2ND BN 3RD Marines 4TH Marine Regiment Okinawa Japan conducted an intensive 4 day exercise that thoroughly tested and enhanced the battalions military skills A separate after action report was provided earlier to the THIRD Brigade detailing the exercise and lessons learned

Operations

The Operations Department coordinated and managed over 27 000 mandays of direct labor at the mainbody 3 detail sites and on 3 DFIs The scope of work and working environments varied tremendously but the commitment to safety and quality was exceptionally consistent Project tasking for Guam Diego Garcia San Diego and Southwest Asia was provided by TIURD Brigade OPORDER 09-94 The detail to Chinhae Korea was tasked in early December and deployed on a weeks notice NMCB SEVEN who would normally man this detail from its Pacific deployment site in Okinawa was called to support Haitian-Cuban relief efforts in Guantanamo Bay and could not support Chinhae The ~sking for DFIs to Thailand and El Salvador was developed while the battalion was deployed to Guam

In September through December the mainbody had several interruptions to its direct labor tasking Work was stopped on 7 occasions to prepare for possible heavy weather from typhoons approaching Guam Potable water buffaloes and portable generators were staged around the island during preparations for Super Typhoon Wilda due to water distribution problems caused by the storm In early October the battalion was placed on alert for redeployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Southern Watch Fortunately the battaiion did not have to redeploy however the battalion did spend a full week in preparing for several scenarios of embarking the Air Detachment to the desert

Despite these early interruptions the battalion was able to complete several significant projects including the completion of the Dental Clinic Addition started by NMCB ONE the relocation of the Fieet Imaging Center K-Spans for NCT AMS Coast Guard and NA V ACTS Naval Magazine Repairs to Earthquake Damaged Victor Wharf FISC FirebreaksRoads and Repairs to the Glass Breakwater

Detail Diego Garcia completed a 16 room unit of BOS Housing and made significant progress on three other BOS Housing units They also replaced the deck at the EXPAT Club and completed numerous CO Discretionary Projects

The battalion established a permanent detail site in San Diego completing the 90 x 100 Pre-Engineered Metal Building Gymnasium and the Bilge Oily Water Treatment Facility at Naval Station The detail also completed Phase I of the Harbor Drive Irrigation Project and worked closely with the NAVSTA Staff Civil Engineer and several Reserve NCF Units to coordinate the facilities for future Seabee use in San Diego

Detail Chinhae Korea completed the Transient BEQ and closed the detail site They

retrograded the equipment tools and materials to Pohang and Okinawa

The DFf to Southwest Asia completed the overlay of 1 million SF Aircraft Parking Apron with a rubberized coal tar emulsion built two K-Span Crew Shelters and completed the Air Crew Ready Room and the HAZMAT Storage Facility in support of Operation Southern Watch Their achievements were all the more noteworthy due to the unplanned arrival during their deployment to Doha Qatar of 3 Air Force KC-135 Tankers and a Combat Communications Squadron participating in exercise Vigilant Warrior

Twenty Seabees participated in exercise Fuertes Caminos 95 South drilling 5 wells producing over 12 million gallons of water per day for the citizens of El Salvador The detail embarked all equipment and supplies from Port Hueneme and was supported by Joint Task Force Builder while in El Salvador

The DFf to Ban Chan Khrem Thailand constructed a substantial part of the expeditionary camp in support of exercise Cobra Gold The detail lived in a tent camp at tbe project site and was totally self supporting with resupply from local vendors

Several projects tasked for completion by the mainbody had to be deferred due to lack of materials incomplete designs or inadequate site approval This situation seems particularly common on Guam as customers battle high design costs and an uncertain future in the midst of the Navys drawdown middot

Supply and Logistics

All Supply Department outlets exceeded the TY COM goal of 95 for inventory validity earning a grade of Satisfactory on the THIRD Brigade Supply Management Inspection with numerous commendatory comments for all functional areas

A Hazardous Material Memorandum of Agreement was signed between THIRD Brigade and the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Guam This agreement established the duties and responsibilities between the Hazardous Material Reutilization Center (HAZMINCEN) and Camp Covington Under this agreement the HAZMINCEN agreed to centrally store and manage the camps hazardous material The camp began turning over all hazardous material to the HAZMINCEN By the end of the deployment approximately 95 of all hazardous material within the camp had been turned over

The Supply Departments most challenging task was maintaining adequate automotive repair part support which was vital to Alfa companies ability to maintain an aging fleet of CESE The availability of Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contracts through FISC enabled the Supply Department to adequately keep up with demand

3 Enclosure ( 1)

Equipment Management

Although the CESE on Guam is old (10-15 years average age) and requires more interim repairs than newer equipment the battalion managed a PM to Interim ratio averaging 30 Parts support from government agencies and local vendors was exceptional

The operation of the Grote Point Mineral Products Facility was a constant challenge With an adequate supply of explosives on hand aggregate production exceeded project demand and the battalion established a significant stockpile for the relieving battalion The concrete batch plant was able to support project requirements while the asphalt plant which has suffered from limited parts support and inadequate preventive maintenance over the life of the equipment was not a reliable source of asphalt

Community

In March the battalion commemorated the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Iwo Jima with a special ceremony highlighting NCB 133 s role in the landing and development of the airfields that supported the bombing of Japan Some 140 World War II veterans attended the ceremony including some Seabees who fought at Iwo Jima The battalion also participated in a Veterans day observance by providing a color guard to the local VFW The battalion also worked on several volunteer projects on Guam and at detail sites including work with local communities schools and agencies who support the needy

The operation of the Grote Point Mineral Products Facility was a constant challenge With an adequate supply of explosives on hand aggregate production exceeded project demand and the battalion established a significant stockpile for the relieving battalion The concrete batch plant was able to support project requirements while the asphalt plant which has suffered from limited parts support and inadequate preventive maintenance over the life of the equipment was not a reliable source of asphalt

Community

In March the battalion commemorated the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Iwo Jima with a special ceremony highlighting NCB 133 s role in the landing and development of the airfields that supported the bombing of Japan Some 140 World War II veterans attended the ceremony including some Seabees who fought at Iwo Jima The battalion also participated in a Veterans day observance by providing a color guard to the local VFW The battalion also worked on several volunteer projects on Guam and at detail sites including work with local communities schools and agencies who support the needy

ADMINISTRATIONSPECIAL STAFFS

AdminPersonnel 1 Lessons Learned

Item Shortage of office equipment Discussion Personnel had only four typewriters and two computers to share amount

10 people and Admin had five typewriters and two computers for nine people This was not enough equipment for the current job requirements

Recommendation Increase the computer allowance for both offices

Item Quality of available office equipment Discussion The copy machine needed repairs constantly Service representatives

often took one to two days to make their service calls Parts to service the copiers were not readily available

Recommendation Replace current copier with updated equipment that can hapdle bull the volume of work generated in AdminPersonnel

Item Communication Center Comeback Copies for Messages Discussion The comeback copies for messages sent out were often not received

The Communications Center provided information to confirm that the messages were transmitted I but this did not guarantee that the message actually was sent

Recommendation This needs to be resolved with the Communication Center Until then if a comeback copy of a message is not received the message should be retransmitted

Item Safes Discussion The safes located in Admin used to secure classified material are old and

need repairs There were several times when the lock and securing mechanism malfunctioned causing delays in access to classified information stored inside

Recommendation Replace or refurbish all the safes or at a minimum replace the locking mechanisms

Item Passports Discussion One of the most difficult tasks this deployment was getting official

passports for personnel going to El Salvador and Thailand Recommendation Require personnel deploying to have a certified copy of their

birth certificate Also recommend that personnel get tourist passports when possible

2 Narrative

Early in the deployment when the battalion was put on alert for redeployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Southern Watch all service records for over 100 personnel had to be verified in preparation for their departure Soon after the department was verifying service records and writing orders for DFTs to Thailand and El Salvador and a detail to Korea In addition they processed passport applications for all personnel on the Thailand and El Salvador details and all those battalion members traveling to visit those sites

Item Duty Driver Discussion The Camp Covington Medical Clinic relies upon the Naval Hospital

Guam and the Branch Clinic at Naval Activities Guam for support in many areas of patient care The requirement to provide transportation for patients and to make pick-ups and deliveries of supplies and tests is a drain on the medical staff assigned to the battalion Each time a corpsman leaves the clinic the ability to provide top notch patient care is reduced

Recommendation The ambulance driver assigned to the clinic with each duty section stood watch for a 24 hour period This duty driver provided patient transportation to and from the hospital and branch clinic and made supply and admin runs as required

2 Narrative

A few changes have occurred within the medical clinic during this deployment One of the clinic rooms was converted into a patient waitingcheck-in area An audiometric booth and audiometer have been acquired which allowed the staff to conduct in-camp hearing tests Previously personnel had to be sent to the Naval Activities clinic An entire TOA inventory was completed The additional items to support female patients have been added to the TOA

Naval Hospital Guam provided invaluable training opportunities for our staff and expedient medical consultation when needed The hospital also provided back-up support to the battalion when the battalions assigned independent duty corpsman (IDC) returned home on emergency leave The hospital assigned an IDC to accompany the DFT to Thailand for the duration of their deployment

Weekly stress management counseling and monthly smoking cessation classes were held in the coffee shop The battalion held three successful blood drives on Guam and collected 115 pints of blood
