Seabees

Consider adding the 133rd and 31st MCB to list of subordinates. Ref: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq67-3.htm Ref Blue Beach, while the 133rd MCB directly attached to the 4th Marines landed on Yellow Beaches 1 & 2 starting with the first wave: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/i04000/i04377k.jpg " On 19 February 1945, the Fifth Amphibious Corps, which included the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion and elements of the 31st Naval Construction Battalion, hit the beaches. During the assault, the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion had the dubious honor of suffering more men killed or wounded than any other Seabee battalion in any previous or subsequent engagement. Although only minor construction was accomplished during the first ten days of the operation, the Seabees later built one crucial emergency landing field and fighter airstrips so desperately needed by the Allies." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.153.75 (talk) 09:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
