Miss. CBs complete Poland mission

ZAGAN, Poland - Seabees (CBs) assigned to the Gulfport, Miss.-based Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133 concluded its Exercise Resolute Castle 2019 mission July 12 here in Poland. Detail (DET) Zagan’s task was to work directly in support of the British Army’s 71st Royal Engineer Regiment in the construction of a sheet metal building (K-Span), K-Span foundation, and a plumb and sync ramp. The ultimate goal was to exchange professional skills and knowledge while highlighting each unit’s capacity for interoperability. K-Spans were a staple of contingency construction during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, enabling units to quickly establish forward operating bases. Along the vein of resolving conflict, DET Zagan was employed as part of a much larger mission: Operation Atlantic Resolve, meant to deter aggression towards NATO allies. Multinational training events like these promote trust, and strengthen relationships with America’s allies. (Source: NMCB 133 07/18/19)
