シービー
1942年、必要に迫られて誕生した海軍建設工兵隊、通称シービー(Seabees)は、建設と戦闘を一体として行う世界で唯一の軍隊です。ガダルカナル島の珊瑚の滑走路から、長津湖の凍てつく橋、ヘルマンド州の前線基地まで、シービーは南極を含むあらゆる紛争地、あらゆる大陸に展開してきました。彼らは職人であり、技術者であり、潜水士であり、ライフル兵です。彼らのモットーがすべてを物語っています。「Can Do.(やれるぞ)」

From Guadalcanal to Okinawa, Seabees landed with or ahead of the Marines and turned coral atolls into bomber bases. At Peleliu they bulldozed runways under mortar fire.
