What type of training do Seabees undergo for combat readiness?

The training that Seabees undergo for combat readiness primarily includes both basic military training and specialized construction training. This comprehensive approach ensures that Seabees not only understand fundamental military skills necessary for combat situations but also possess the technical expertise required for construction projects in various operational conditions.

Basic military training provides the foundational skills and knowledge needed to operate effectively within a military structure, including discipline, physical fitness, and team coordination. In addition to this foundational training, specialized construction training equips Seabees with the specific skills needed for various construction tasks, such as building infrastructure, repairing facilities, and managing construction in diverse environments. This dual training approach is critical because, in combat situations, Seabees may be required to perform construction tasks under threat and in support of military operations, making them a versatile asset in both combat and humanitarian missions.

While options such as advanced tactical training, survival and evasion training, and logistics and supply chain training may also be beneficial, they do not encompass the primary focus of Seabee training, which is geared toward blending military and construction capabilities to achieve mission success.
