The word of the day for Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 28 is "prefabrication," and they're putting their words into action to complete construction by April 19 of 20 modular protected billeting facilities that will support Marines in the field.
The facilities have hardened roofs and can support between 12 and 24 warfighters, depending on how the building is used. The modular units can be used as sleeping quarters, offices or both and offers protection from mortar impacts. Pieces of the modular facilities are being prefabricated by Seabees prior to actual on-site construction of each unit.
