Construction Electrician Constructionman Choike Richards

Construction Electrician Constructionman Choike Richards assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3's Timor-Leste Civic Construction Action Detail (CCAD) hands out water to children outside the Manatuto Maternity Clinic. NMCB 3 teamed up with the Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL) to conduct critical repairs at the clinic, located 70 miles east of Dili, Timor-Leste's capital city. The CCAD's mission is to execute engineering civic assistance projects, conduct formal training with the host nation and perform community relations events to help enhance shared capabilities and improve the country's social welfare. One of the first battalions commissioned during World War II, NMCB 3's legacy stands strong in its ability to build and fight anywhere in the world as either a full battalion or as a group of autonomous detachments, simultaneously completing critical engineering and construction missions. For this deployment, NMCB 3 has split into 9 details to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams will also conduct operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea and China Lake, Calif. The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. They provide deployable battalions capable of providing disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance and combat operations support. NMCB 3 provides combatant commanders and Navy component commanders with combat-ready warfighters capable of general engineering, construction and limited combat engineering across the full range of military operations.
