Increasing awareness, understanding and appreciation for efforts to increase expeditionary engineering and logistics capability is a continuous challenge.
SeaBees and Marines collaborated to rapidly scan all relevant features of a small island and surrounding waters off Okinawa
to begin realizing the art of the possible for new engineering reconnaissance capabilities.
