Seabees en la Segunda Guerra Mundial Seabees in World War II
rdfs:comment
Los Seabees en la Segunda Guerra Mundial desempeñaron un papel muy importante, especialmente en el teatro de operaciones del Pacífico. Los 325.000 hombres de los seabees de la Armada de Estados Unidos llegaron a construir infraestructuras militares por un valor superior a los 10.000 millones de dólares. También lucharon y sufrieron bajas porque los miembros de los Batallones de la Construcción (CB, en sus siglas en inglés) eran asimismo combatientes que habían recibido adiestramiento militar. Por eso más de dos mil Seabees recibieron el Corazón Púrpura solo en el escenario del Pacífico.​ When World War II broke out the United States Naval Construction Battalions (Seabees) did not exist. The logistics of a two theater war were daunting to conceive. Rear Admiral Moreell completely understood the issues. What needed to be done was build staging bases to take the war to the enemy, across both oceans, and create the construction force to do the work.

dbo:abstract
When World War II broke out the United States Naval Construction Battalions (Seabees) did not exist. The logistics of a two theater war were daunting to conceive. Rear Admiral Moreell completely understood the issues. What needed to be done was build staging bases to take the war to the enemy, across both oceans, and create the construction force to do the work. Naval Construction Battalions were first conceived at Bureau of Yards and Docks (BuDocks) in the 1930s. The onset of hostilities clarified to Radm. Moreell the need for developing advance bases to project American power. The solution: tap the vast pool of skilled labor in the U.S. Put it in uniform to build anything, anywhere under any conditions and get the Marine Corps to train it. The first volunteers came skilled. To obtain these tradesmen, military age was waived to age 50. It was later found that several past 60 had managed to get in. Men were given advanced rank/pay based upon experience making the Seabees the highest paid group in the U.S. military. The first 60 battalions had an average age of 37. "December 1942 saw voluntary Seabee enlistments cease per presidential order. For the next year the Selective Service System provided younger unskilled recruits." The Seabee solution were Construction Training Centers with courses in over 60 trades. In the field seabees became renowned for the arts of obtaining materials by unofficial and unorthodox means, and souvenir making. Bulldozers, steel pontoons, steel mat, and corrugated steel, combined with "ingenuity and elbow grease became synonymous with Seabees Nearly 11,400 became officers in the Civil Engineer Corps of which nearly 8,000 served with CBs. During the war the Naval Construction Force (NCF) was simultaneously spread across multiple projects worldwide. On 13 February 1945 Chief of Naval Operations, Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, made the NCF a permanent Naval element. Before that happened Seabees had volunteered for many tasks outside the NCF: Naval Combat Demolition Units, UDTs, Marine Corps Engineers/Pioneers and the top secret Chemical Warfare Service Flame tank Group. While the Seabees had many unit types and had their tasks outside the NCF, other services, and the rest of the Navy itself, made no distinction, they all were simply "Seabees". Los Seabees en la Segunda Guerra Mundial desempeñaron un papel muy importante, especialmente en el teatro de operaciones del Pacífico. Los 325.000 hombres de los seabees de la Armada de Estados Unidos llegaron a construir infraestructuras militares por un valor superior a los 10.000 millones de dólares. También lucharon y sufrieron bajas porque los miembros de los Batallones de la Construcción (CB, en sus siglas en inglés) eran asimismo combatientes que habían recibido adiestramiento militar. Por eso más de dos mil Seabees recibieron el Corazón Púrpura solo en el escenario del Pacífico.​
