For the past 68 years, the US Navy Seabees have performed expeditionary construction for the Marines, Army, and local populace. The Seabees were created in 1942 from a cadre of middle-aged construction workers and served proudly throughout WWII campaigns in the Pacific theater. With the ongoing Global War on Terrorism, the Seabees’ participation in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom has continually increased in direct support of the Coalition Forces. Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Donahue served in Iraq as the Operations Officer for 600 personnel.
