EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

From 8 May to 14 December 2001, NMCB FIVE executed a successful Okinawan deployment. The Battalion was spread throughout the Pacific with six detail sites as well as three Deployments for Training in Alaska, East Timor, and Everett, Washington. Also, one Seabee was sent to Laos to participate in Joint Task Force – Full Accounting and one Officer participated in Operation Ulchi Focus Lens in Korea. Incorporated into the deployment was a successful Air Detachment field exercise in the Central Training Area of Okinawa. ADMINISTRATION During this deployment the Administration Department has successfully processed 252 transfers and receipts, processed reservist personnel, and administered exams. The Battalion had 182 personnel advance during the deployment! NMCB FIVE is proud to have retained 61% of its personnel during the deployment. Dental readiness and medical readiness were both above 95% for the entire seven months. TRAINING NMCB FIVE completed 5,041 mandays of training during the deployment. Military skills and physical fitness were the primary concentrations. The training during the Exercise Driven Training week of round robin combat skills and the Air Detachment Field Exercise, Operation Kennel Bear, was the majority of the Battalion’s military training, however, some early military training was gained by the participants in the Marine Jungle Warfare Training Center course. The training department worked hard to upgrade the Battalion indoctrination program by adding SCWS topics and security clearance paperwork. The Battalion also focused on training personnel for the Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist program, qualifying 148 people on deployment. OPERATIONS Safety was the Battalion’s primary goal. With constant diligence, the Battalion was able to improve its safety record from the last deployment in the Caribbean. NMCB FIVE completed 28,220 mandays of quality workmanship on camp maintenance, discretionary, and tasked construction projects for mainbody in Okinawa, Japan, detail sites in Atsugi, Iwakuni, Sasebo, and Yokosuka, Japan, Chinhae and Pohang, Korea, and Deployments for Training in Alaska, East Timor, and Everett, Washington. SUPPLY AND LOGISTICS The supply department worked hard to streamline processes, reduce backlogs, and achieve full supply accountability. The department processed 238 NORS and ANORS requisitions. The availability of CESE was held relatively constant starting at 89% at the beginning of deployment and reaching 88% at the end, with a spike to 97% after the BEEP. Also, the number of deadline CESE decreased from 13 to 8 over the deployment. Another important event was the swap of the TOA in the warehouse for a newer modular TOA. An outstanding deployment for the supply department as all inspections and assist visits were opportunities for visitors to see the “Professionals” shine!

ADMINISTRATION/SPECIAL STAFFS

ADMINISTRATION

The command’s retention program benefited from Personnel’s flexibility in completing 42 reenlistments. The clerk who processed 51 extensions and the separations mentioned above also expeditiously processed many short tasking reenlistments involving Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) payments. In addition, 56 augment reservists called-up in support of Operation Enduring Freedom were completely processed within three days of their arrival. All personnel and pay issues were addressed, researched, and fixed. Substitute exams were promptly ordered and administered without discrepancies. Over the rest of the deployment, an additional 13 augment reservists were processed into the Battalion. Navy wide advancement examinations (Cycle 172) came and went without a hitch. The 11 September attacks delayed, but did not prevent the successful administration of 268 examinations in Okinawa, Korea, and Japan. Personnel also advanced 63 E2s and E3s during the deployment.

ITEMPO days accumulated quickly for the 680-personnel Battalion during the deployment. Over a period of five months, Personnel submitted over 1000 ITEMPO entries to keep the command’s counter updated. Personnel vigorously updated the primary and secondary next of kin information for 580 enlisted Page 2’s as per CNO directives. The 200 plus personnel assigned to details in mainland Japan; Korea; Everett, Washington; Dili, East Timor; and Alaska made the task more challenging, but did not hinder progress. Clerks also went to project sites to accommodate those who couldn’t make it to the office during normal working hours. In all, Personnel completed over 2500 Defense Joint Military Pay System (DJMS) transactions, Source Data System (SDS) events, and Diary Message Reporting System (DMRS) messages relating to pay and personnel data. The record vault was inventoried upon arrival and again before departing for homeport. Hardworking PN’s verified, purged, and updated over 580 records; completed more than 1400 service record entries; and created various electronic forms and three databases, which saved enormous man-hours and increased efficiency. This appears to be a short list of accomplishments, but it was a massive undertaking for an undermanned staff. Teamwork was the key to completing all of the tasking.

The Admin Office provided legal assistance, processed 47 passport applications, 565 cost/no cost TAD orders, 7 naturalization applications, over 430 FITREPS/EVALS, prepared over 300 personal awards and assisted in a Change of Command ceremony. Additionally, the department contributed immensely to the security of the Battalion by providing personnel as Interior Guards in the wake of terrorist attacks. The Assistant Security Manager processed over 100 security investigations during the deployment, ensuring all communicators and leadership had the security clearance necessary to perform all mission requirements.

Additionally, the Administrative Department provided 90% of the Command Operations Center communicators during the field exercise (FEX). The performance of the communications platoon was outstanding and received high marks from the brigade during the deployment FEX.

CHAPLAIN Protestant Divine Worship services were held every Sunday at the Camp Shields Chapel. Seabees actively attended Catholic and Latter Day Saint services at Kadena Air Force Base Chapels and Friday Muslim services at Camp Foster. Transportation to the various services was facilitated by shuttle bus provided by Alfa Company. The Camp Shields Chapel started a successful Chapel Band and a Luncheon Bible Study. Six Lay Readers, from the Muslim, Catholic, and Protestant faiths, were trained for support of the detachments and mainbody. The Command Religious Program also provided pastoral care and spiritual counseling, suicide awareness counseling, memorial services, the Battalion Change of Command invocation, retirements, re-enlistments, and oversight of the Command’s People with Exceptional Needs Program. The Camp Shields Chaplain’s Office, and Religious Ministries Team, provided leadership and support in a wide variety of areas impacting the spiritual health, morale and readiness of the Battalion. RP2 (SCW) Wright supervised the Camp Shields Library program providing coverage seven day per week, including evening library access, Monday through Friday. The Library supplied six trained watch-standers who worked extended hours in support of Seabees and the University of Maryland computer lab. The library provided boxes of paperback books for isolated detail sites such as Pohang, Korea; Ketchikan, Alaska; and the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa. Bookshelves were also obtained and paperback books provided for each lounge area in the junior enlisted quarters.

DENTAL

The Dental Department maintained dental readiness above 97% throughout the deployment. As the staff at Camp Shields rendered care for main body, the Details had their dental exams and work completed at their hosting bases, if available. Through regular contact with the Details, the department was able to maintain an accurate DENMIS database of the battalion’s personnel. Detail personnel in areas without easily accessible dental care had their exams and a majority of their routine work completed prior to deployment.

Contact with 3rd Dental Battalion and the Branch Dental Clinics enabled NMCB FIVE to use all available resources. Services provided from outside the command included periodontal surgeries and complex endodontic cases. The 3rd

Dental Battalion also played an integral role in providing our

2-4

clinic with supplies. Their accounting department held and kept track of our money for dental supplies. When supplies were required, we would send the 3rd Dental Battalion an order with a list of supplies and they processed the paperwork for the purchase. This efficient ordering process expedited our quarterly supply purchases. We utilized Naval Hospital Okinawa’s Oral Surgery Department for sedation cases and emergencies as necessary. Dental work for personnel living and working on remote camps was coordinated through the dental clinics on those remote camps, such as at Camp Schwab and Camp Futenma. This enabled our personnel to take less time out of the workday, by removing the transportation time required in a return to Camp Shields for a dental appointment.

MEDICAL NMCB FIVE’s deployment to Okinawa, Japan and various detail sites was rewarding. Extensive measures were taken to prevent endemic diseases such as Japanese encephalitis and leptospirosis. Specific guidelines for chemoprophylaxis for leptospirosis in the Northern Training Area (NTA) were followed as well as for malaria in East Timor. All personnel were given the Japanese Encephalitis Virus series of shots prior to or upon arrival in Okinawa. Two Hospital Corpsmen participated in an intensive Jungle Warfare training course at Northern Training Area, Okinawa 16-23 June 01, in tandem with the 3rd Marines. Specific preventive efforts for malaria including chemoprophylaxis and DEET treatment of uniforms were taken. Medical briefs for personal hygiene and sexually transmitted diseases were also given to all personnel. Due to the rigorous nature of the course, over 30 Seabee and Marine participants were treated for soft-tissue injuries, heat casualties, and various skeletal injuries; although one required a land MEDEVAC. Two Hospital Corpsman also participated in a 3rd MEU sponsored Medical Jungle Combat Casualty Care Course 21-29 August 01.

MEDICAL SUMMARY Total Immunizations 1212 Total Audiology Tests 249 Total Laboratory Venipunctures 785 Total Prescriptions 1647 Total Patient Visits 1215 For Health Promotions, the Medical Department initiated Smoking Cessation classes for 10 Battalion personnel in August with a success rate of 30%. The course consists of weekly seminars for approximately 5 weeks and was facilitated by the Medical Officer and one Hospital Corpsman. In preparation for the smoking class, the Hospital Corpsman attended the Smoking Cessation Instructor Course at Navy Hospital, Camp Lester. Two blood drives were held with over 50 units being donated. In support of the Great American Smokeout, a 5K run was organized with prizes such as stadium seat cushions, sweatshirts, and ball caps. One hundred smoking cessation packages were distributed. Basic Life Support (CPR) classes were offered and over 150 personnel certified.

2-5

One Independent Duty Corpsman and one Hospital Corpsman participated in an Air Detachment field exercise that supported 126 personnel in the Central Training Area. The Medical Department set up a Basic Aid Station and treated a total of 30 patients. Patient injuries included burns, upper respiratory infections, soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, and local infections. Daily water checks were conducted on all water sources. The medical team’s capabilities were heavily tested during multiple mass casualty and biological/chemical drills with training provided on MEDEVACs and CASREP reports. The Medical Department continued to place a high priority on HM training during this deployment. This included intensive in-house HM training given twice weekly by the Medical Officer and three times a week by the Independent Duty Corpsmen. The topics ranged from sick call procedures to military training. A departmental orientation and skills assessment checklist was also accomplished and accepted by 3rd Brigade as a tool for all Seabee Medical Departments. Two corpsman completed intravenous fluid transfer and suture certification at the Naval Hospital and one completed a three-day Introduction to Preventive Medicine course. Two Corpsmen obtained certification as Audiometric Technicians. One Emergency Vehicle Operators Course was held 12-14 June 01 certifying 12 personnel. Four personnel obtained Basic Life Support Instructor certification.

TRAINING/COMMUNICATIONS/ARMORY

TRAINING

Military Training:

The first major event of the deployment for the Training Department was sending 54 Seabees to

attend the Jungle Warfare Training Course at the Northern Training Area’s (NTA’s) Jungle Warfare Training Center (JWTC). During this week of intense training our Seabees joined forces with 5 Army and 100 Marine personnel stationed in Okinawa. Although a unique mix of

Military personnel, they came together to conquer numerous tasks as one team. Some of the training they received included repelling from a 100-foot cliff and adventuring over a ravine

using rope bridges suspended 200 feet above the ground. Our Seabees, along with their Marine and Army comrades, concluded the five-day training evolution with a 6-hour endurance course that truly measured their “CAN DO” spirit.

Three Command Post Exercises (CPXs) were conducted over the course of the deployment.

These exercises helped train personnel and provided a means for self-evaluation of the Command, Control, and Communication techniques utilized by the Battalion. This was accomplished by simulating a contingency operation that took the Battalion through various

types of scenarios. On Saturday, 29 September 2001, two hundred and fifty personnel headed north to the weapons

ranges of Camp Hansen. The focus of this training evolution was on the crew-served weapons (60 mm mortars, M-60’s, M2’s, and MK-19’s). Other personnel were able to perform

familiarization fire with shotguns and 9 mm pistols on adjacent ranges. The 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines Instructors provided instruction on the weapons and lead the battalion personnel through a live fire exercise.

In addition to the live fire exercise, Battalion personnel were required to Battle Zero Out (BZO)

their weapons when they arrived in Okinawa. Additionally, all interior guard personnel were required to BZO their weapons before standing watch in Camp Shields.

Leadership and In Rate Training:

During the deployment, the Battalion sent 20 personnel to Leadership Continuum Mobile Training Team classes offered through Commander Fleet Activities Okinawa. All members successfully completed the training, a requirement for their promotion to the next grade.

NMCB FIVE also conducted in-rate training on Saturdays. This training emphasized the critical

skills that Seabees need to succeed on Navy advancement exams. Indoctrination and Sponsor Program:

Indoctrination: The command indoctrination program underwent a complete revision. The

following changes were made:

1255

3 - 12

- Addition of SCWS topics to the curriculum such as Naval Heritage, Tactics, First

Aid, Communications, and Administration, Command & Control.

- The S1 department added security clearance applications and the beginning stages of the military passport process.

The program currently operates on a five-day schedule and will continue to prosper with additional training to be added during the homeport period. Plans are in place for this period of

instruction to be taken over by the homeport liaison. Sponsorship: In June, the sponsorship program was added to the S7 shop. The purpose of this

program is to create a single standard tracking database for new additions to the command. This database is updated daily and disseminated to the company chiefs and company sponsor

coordinators. There is 100% contact made with each prospective gain through two venues: the first is a standard Naval message originating from the sponsorship office and the second is a personal letter from the assigned sponsor. Numerous sponsors are making first contact via e-

mail, a method gaining popularity amongst the company representatives. The program still has room for improvement; but it is a step in the right direction.

Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist (SCWS) Program:

The SCWS training personnel had their hands full from the onset of deployment. Evening SCWS

classes taught by subject matter experts (SME) were offered 4 nights a week, allowing for aggressive progress to be made by all.

On 23 and 24 August, the SCWS office conducted a

SCWS Fest. This evolution involved all hands and was geared specifically toward enabling personnel to jump ahead on SCWS qualification. Feedback

from the SCWS Fest was extremely positive because the training allowed hundreds of Seabees to

attain skills in specific areas that would have otherwise been difficult to schedule on their own.

During FY 01, the Battalion qualified 111 new SCWS warriors! In total, the battalion was able to qualify a total of 148 new warriors during our 7-month deployment.

Block Military Training and Deployed Field Exercise:

Wednesday thru Friday, 10 to 12 October 2001, were designated as Block Military Training Days. The focus of the Block Military training was to improve the overall effectiveness of the

FEX organization, to develop small unit leaders’ proficiency at reactionary management, and to provide opportunities for the application of problem solving skills in complex situations. Block

Military Training is engineered to correct identified shortfalls in the overall combat readiness training of battalion personnel.

The battalion exercised its Contingency Organizations, such as the Chemical, Biological, and

Radiological (CBR) Warfare; Embarkation; Communication; and Air Detachment organizations. Eleven Marines from Camp Schwab provided intense hands-on training in the following areas: land navigation, CBR, patrolling, convoy operations, tactics, urban building clearing, and Enemy

Prisoner of War handling.

On Saturday, 13 October 2001, the Air Detachment moved into the training area at Combat Town, while the remaining personnel established a Combat Operations Center as well as conducting an embarkation exercise at Camp Shields. The Air Detachment established a security

perimeter and conducted various construction operations from the camp that was established at Combat Town on Camp Hansen. Marines and advisors from the Third Naval Construction

Brigade assisted in testing the Air Detachment’s response to CBR and conventional attacks.

COMMUNICATIONS AND ISD

a. Communications Shop: During the deployment to Camp Shields, Okinawa, the

communications shop identified and corrected over $6,000 worth of discrepancies. The ET’s maintained over 400 various pieces of communications gear in a mission ready status. The ET’s also assisted the CFAO electronics shop in trouble-shooting communications assets.

The communications shop identified short falls in

training areas of the communications platoon, company level communicators, forward observers, and AIRDET. A comprehensive training program

was created. Each portion of the training was tailored to the different levels of knowledge

required for the communicators. The training was provided early and improved proficiency was evident at the three CPX’s, during SCWS Fest, and

at the MILBLOCK training for FEX. The communications shop received the following new

communications assets and incorporated those items immediately into the CPX and/or FEX plan:

PRC-117 GRC-231 PRC-150 SB-3614

In addition to completing all tasks assigned by 3NCB, communications personnel developed a communications SOP and rewrote the requirements for the SCWS PQS due to the new

equipment additions. The ET’s conducted a complete operational test on all equipment to verify capability and readiness. This testing and inventory identified over $300K in required assets to

be 100 percent tactically ready. The communications shop also participated in an HF communications exercise between Okinawa, Guam, and Port Hueneme. A CONEX box was

1455

3 - 14

procured and equipped with shelves for the quick and safe mount-out, and establishment of communications equipment in a field environment. The ET’s methodically organized the

communication shop shelves to facilitate the wide range of equipment and support gear. To support increased security controls, the communications shop had Camp Maintenance personnel

install Unicam daytime cipher locks on both entry doors and a CDX-08 lock on the double door leading outside. The communications shop also coordinated and obtained ten VHF frequencies for operational and training use on the island.

b. Information Systems Department: During

the deployment to Camp Shields, Okinawa, ISD maintained a Local Area Network of 120 workstations and 4 servers. The ISD

department restructured the LAN to the original configuration in accordance with

the license agreement and setup. The first full system accreditation for an NCF computer system was completed on the

entire network per direction from the N6, 3NCB and G6, MCB Butler using

DODINST 5200.40, SECNAVINST 5239.3, and CPFINST 5239.3. All computer systems also were verified to be C2

compliant after the network support switched from Kadena AFB to the Marine Corps’s Okinawa Wide Area Network (OWAN). The network was updated with Windows NT Service Pack 6 and

Outlook 2000 office package. NORTON Anti Virus was set up as a corporate system to update the anti virus protection daily. The ISD department completed all of the 3NCB tasking for this deployment, which can be reviewed on the Camp Shields Intranet web site weekly report for S6.

In addition, the shop:

Installed a CISCO Switch in the server room. This installation reduced the number of fiber

switches required to one for the Internet connection.

Installed 8 CPU capable Servo Switches for the server room assets.

Installed four external modems to give Dispatch and the Galley access to the server 24 hours a day. Installed two additional telephone lines and two modems in the server room providing

dual access at all times.

Received multiple new parts of the TLAN and organized shelves for easy deployment of the

TLAN. Identified to 3NCB all TOA requirement shortages that need to be filled for the Battalion to be 100 percent capable in the field.

Updated and fully populated the Camp Shields Intranet WEB Page.

Upgraded the VTC phone lines and repaired the VTC module.

Completed all facets of the 3NCB tasks assignments.

In addition to the normal maintenance of the computers in camp, the ISD Staff provided

assistance with user level problem solving for over 200 software and hardware trouble calls. At the end of the deployment, the computer resources were 100% operational.

OPERATIONS

Emphasizing safety, quality and production, NMCB FIVE completed 28,220 mandays of tasking on camp maintenance, discretionary projects, and project tasking. This was split through 10% maintenance, 15% training, 3% CO Discretionary, and 72% tasked projects. At the beginning of the deployment, NMCB FIVE deployed the mainbody to Camp Shields; Detail sites at Chinhae and Pohang, Korea and at Atsugi, Iwakuni, Sasebo, and Yokosuka, Japan; and DFT Alaskan Roads to Ketchikan, Alaska. NMCB FIVE embarked DFT East Timor early in June. In late July, a DFT was sent to Everett, Washington to provide CBU 421 additional support. For Japan and Korea, frequent rainstorms impacted project progress early in the deployment, but weather was slightly more cooperative by the middle of the deployment, as it only rained during the typhoons. Four typhoons passed over Okinawa and various portions of the Japanese mainland during the deployment; the eye of one typhoon passed over Okinawa three times! NMCB FIVE responded with appropriate readiness preparations to each typhoon as it moved through the area. The crashes of the four commercial airliners on 11 September 2001 had a significant impact upon manday capability. Subsequent to that, Seabees were required to man security details in Okinawa and at Sasebo. Security checks at the base gates also caused the crews to spend time during the workday away from the projects. The President activated many reservists as a result of the terrorist attacks. Included in the reservists activated were 69 personnel from NMCB FIVE’s reserve augment unit. The augment personnel went from their hometowns to Port Hueneme for records, medical checks, and training beginning the week of 8 October 2001. The augment personnel then flew in groups to Okinawa, Japan beginning 20 October 2001. Upon arrival in Okinawa, all personnel were assigned to a one-week indoctrination course for the Battalion. The augment personnel were eventually distributed to the companies and details as follows: ALFA Company – 26, BRAVO Company – 4, CHARLIE Company – 1, HEADQUARTERS Company – 3, DFT Everett – 10, Detail Atsugi/Fuji – 8, Detail Iwakuni – 7, and Detail Sasebo – 10. Upon NMCB FIVE’s return to homeport the augment unit was chopped to NMCB 133 in Guam as a Detail, per 3NCB direction. NMCB FIVE completed the following number of mandays at each site listed below:

SAFETY SUMMARY The battalion reduced the severity of the mishaps experienced by the battalion through oversight of project planning, training, education, daily inspections, and proactive use of Operational Risk Management (ORM). These measures reduced the 9 Lost Work Day (LWD) cases with 127 lost workdays experienced during the battalion’s previous deployment (to Puerto Rico), to 5 LWD cases with a total of 6 lost work days during this deployment. This is a significant achievement considering the Okinawa deployment included a field exercise and a one-week jungle survival training evolution, which was not part of the Puerto Rico deployment. ORM was at the forefront of all operations through the use of 2-week risk analysis and 2-week goals, which raised hazard awareness at all levels in the battalion. Enclosure (1) is a copy of the project JK8-812 (Construct Ship Platform, White Beach) 2-week goals for 24 July - 06 August, enclosure (2) is the planned 2-week risk analysis from the project package, and enclosure (3) is the crew’s adjustments to the original plan. The crew’s adjustments reflect the actual hazards present with regard to crew experience and reiterates the fact that the safety plan is a “living document”. Safety stand-downs were conducted immediately following mishaps to identify the cause, to identify corrective measures to prevent duplicate mishaps, and to refocus personnel on hazards present.

SUPPLY/LOGISTICS/EQUIPMENT

NMCB FIVE’s Supply Department had a very successful deployment supporting the Battalion’s construction mission. One major tasking early in the deployment was the swap out of the

existing Table of Allowance (TOA) with a new P25 TOA valued at over $39.2 million. This process began back at homeport with several planning meetings and strategy sessions between the Battalion and Third Brigade’s N43 shop. After the TOA arrived on island, coordination between Supply and Alfa Company ensured a very successful evolution, which was completed with minimal disruption to operations and ahead of schedule. Alfa Company removed the existing TOA from the Dehumidified Warehouse, staged the containers in the Supply Yard, and positioned the new containers in their appropriate locations within

the warehouse, incurring zero mishaps while drastically increasing the Battalion’s ability to respond to a contingency. One immediate advantage enjoyed by the Battalion was utilization of new tools which positively impacted projects and troop morale. The “Professionals” maintained their stellar reputation by successfully passing all inspections and assist visits, earning numerous kudos and “Bravo Zulus.” Several operations were recognized for their superb service, receiving praises of “Outstanding.” These were Financial Management, Services (Barber, Postal, and Food Service), Material Liaison Office (MLO) and Det Support. Other operations were just as impressive and maintained Supply’s reputation as a “Can Do” organization providing “Service to the Bees.” 1. OUTLET SUMMARIES: a. SUPPLY: The Supply Office was the driving force behind the successful Okinawa deployment, flawlessly managing three Operating Targets (OPTARs) valued at over $1.4 million. Five Storekeepers, assisted by three Japanese Nationals, processed repair part, consumable, and camp maintenance requisitions supporting Camp Shields and twelve construction projects throughout Okinawa. The requisitions included 124 NORS requisitions valued at $59,000 and 114 ANORS requisitions valued at $18,500. The Supply office also implemented an assertive tracking process to obtain timely status on outstanding requirements. The office also aggressively managed the Material Obligation Validation and Overaged Requisitions programs to yield over $25,000 in recouped OPTAR funds. Both main

5-2

body and detail sites effectively utilized the Government Purchase Card, which gave projects the added plus of receiving materials in a timelier manner, some on a “same day” basis. The Office significantly reduced the number of outstanding requirements by aggressively expediting procurement through the homeport staff, resulting in zero downtime for equipment and projects. The Supply Office also managed $920K in travel funds, processed over 1,800 deployment per diem orders and 100 travel orders. Supply personnel aggressively tracked outstanding travel requirements resulting in the successful liquidation and recoupment of over $50,000 in much needed travel funds.

b. FOOD SERVICE: Camp Shields’ galley underwent tremendous improvement during the deployment. Some of the improvements were new food production equipment, new floor tiling, ceiling fans with lights, a new air conditioning unit for the dry storeroom and installation of a new bumper on the loading dock. The Galley staff, working with the Camp Czar, initiated a $120,000 phased galley equipment replacement program that was previously non-existent. With time, money, and continued interest, the galley will one day compete for the Ney Award and will reach the “Five-Star” plateau. The Food Service Officer and Leading MS

revised the menu to include several special meals throughout the course of each month: Mongolian BBQ, Okinawan, Mexican, Italian, Hillbilly, Soul, and Surf-n-Turf nights. Our salad bar expanded to over 28 items, with a selection of at least eight fruit items per meal. The staff shined when the Navy Food Management teams from Hawaii and Japan, as well as Third Brigade’s Logistics Management Assist (LMA) Team, came aboard to review the operation. Inspectors were highly impressed with the high level of professional knowledge, morale, teamwork and eagerness. To the MS staff, a hearty and well-deserved “Can Do.”

c. DISBURSING: FIVE’s Disbursing Clerks helped stimulate the local economy, as well as the economy stateside, by accurately maintaining over 650 pay accounts that pumped over $2.3 million per pay period into the market. By utilizing the UMIDS system to offer real-time online access to members pay accounts, the DKs were able to maintain their superior customer service and continue to provide prompt solutions to pay discrepancies. The IATS system was another tool used to enhance

5-3

troop morale. The system computed all travel claims as well as the all-important deployment per diem payments. Even though most of the office’s functions are automated and most payments are done electronically, funds are still needed and were readily accessible from the Community Bank located on Kadena Air Base.

The Crow’s Nest, an in-camp MWR facility operated by CFAO, offered a personal check cashing service of $100 per person per day. This was in addition to Disbursing’s in-house check cashing policy for Battalion members. Disbursing did not offer currency exchange because of the easy access at the Crow’s Nest. d. POSTAL: NMCB FIVE offered a fully functional post office manned by three Postal Clerks who expeditiously received and processed over 45,000 pounds of mail. The Post Office provided services to both Battalion and non-Battalion customers that included all functions normally found at large scale post offices, including money orders, stamps, and a wide array of shipping materials, ringing up sales in excess of $60,000. Both incoming and outgoing mail was shipped through Kadena’s Air Terminal and took approximately 7 to 10 days to reach stateside destinations and arrive in country. Incoming mail was also processed through Commander Fleet Activities Okinawa’s (CFAO) postal facility, with the same 7 to 10 day window. Space available parcels took anywhere from 14 days to 2 months. Always looking to improve, the Post Office was wired to support an Integrated Retail Terminal that will bring the outlet up to standard with a typical stateside operation, NMCB FOUR should put the system in action. Latex gloves, surgical masks, and bleach for decontamination were issued to reduce the risk of bioterrorism associated with the tragic events of September 11. e. BERTHING: As part of the long-range camp improvement plan, Camp Shields underwent a continuing barracks renovation program during the Battalion’s deployment. This created a significant challenge for the Barracks Manager and his staff. Before arriving on camp, the Battalion was informed of the pending demolition of two occupied barracks in conjunction with the renovation of one barracks building, reducing the number of beds on Camp by 62. Building 7142 was finally completed and transferred to the Battalion in late summer, giving several First Class Petty Officers new rooms with vast improvements in appearance and functionality over the old rooms. Although the renovated facilities enhanced the resident’s quality of life tremendously, the ongoing construction limited space and forced many personnel to move from room to room. In addition, space for turnover was extremely tight. All E-4 and below personnel were tripled up and all E-5 personnel were doubled up. With the arrival of FIVE’s Augment unit, most residents of the Hilton were forced to live three to a room for approximately one week. This also happened when the Detail personnel returned to Camp in preparation for redeployment to homeport. With Building 7147 going down for demolition, the Chiefs were moved from their quarters to Building 7146, displacing the First Class Mess in the process. The First Class Mess resurfaced in Building 7141.

f. CENTRAL TOOL ROOM (CTR): The Storekeeper, Builders, Construction Electrician, Construction Mechanic, and Steelworkers assigned to CTR supported thirteen main body and camp maintenance projects throughout the island. CTR was responsible for the inventory, preventive maintenance, and management of a $1.4 M inventory. This consisted of 205 TOA and 55 augment tool kits, 2,896 shelf stock line items, 424 electrical tools, and 80 gas/pneumatic power tools. During the deployment, the staff completed several wall-to-wall inventories, in addition to their normal

workload. The staff was able to maintain customer service hours during the TOA swap by implementing an onsite TOA kit exchange schedule and lunchtime issue hours that minimized production delays and increased efficiency. The crew exchanged two hundred tool kits on-site during a three-week span. g. MATERIAL LIAISON OFFICE (MLO): MLO did an outstanding job of providing construction materials valued at over $700 K to all main body and camp maintenance projects, as well as to twenty-five Detail projects, despite issues with the prime vendor contract. The Office also expertly managed project funding in excess of $6.1 million for both main body and detail projects, enabling a transition between fiscal years with minimal work stoppages. During the Management Assist Visit (MAV) and the LMA, the outlet posted an inventory validity of 100 percent, receiving the highest praise from the Brigade and Regiment. The inspectors rated MLO as the best operation they had seen over the last three years. The shop also established a positive foundation for the succeeding Battalion (NMCB FOUR). h. CENTRAL SUPPLY AND RECEIVING (CSR): This outlet was used mainly to store supply consumables and stage incoming materials. It was also an integral contributor in the Detail and DFT supply pipeline, ensuring that urgently required material was shipped in a timely manner. One Second Class Storekeeper and two Third Class Storekeepers were assigned to the outlet. i. GREENS ISSUE/INFANTRY GEAR STOREROOM: Two Ship’s Servicemen and one Storekeeper manned the 782/Infantry Gear warehouse and maintained accountability over a $1.2 million inventory ensuring a validity rate of 99 percent. They also maintained complete accountability of the radiac inventory, something that became highly visible after the September 11 attack. Both SHs doubled as the Battalion Barber.

5-5

Although the majority of the 782 gear at Camp Shields is old and worn, the Greens Issue staff maintained the gear in the best ready-for-issue condition possible. Unfit for issue items were turned in to DRMO at Camp Kinser. The Battalion’s well-maintained warehouse received commendatory comments from the inspectors during the highly successful LMA. j. AUTOMATED REPAIR PARTS STOREROOM: One Storekeeper Second Class, one Storekeeper Seaman and one Construction Mechanic Constructionman re-engineered the Automotive Repair Parts process, improving parts availability by 15%, parts issue time to 15 minutes, and NORS turnaround time by 75%. ARP has been tasked with validating the CESE COSAL against the new P25M configuration, a very labor intensive process that will eventually yield an automotive repair parts TOA configured to support any contingency. Validation of the current 70,000 line item inventory is a top priority, but will be a turnover item with FOUR. 2. EQUIPMENT: Alfa Company became responsible for 252 pieces of Civil Engineer Support Equipment (CESE) upon arrival to Okinawa, Japan. Thirteen pieces of CESE were on deadline and equipment availability was 89% upon turnover in May 01. During the deployment, the deadline reached a high of thirteen pieces of CESE and a low of eight. During the 7 months on island, Alfa Company maintained the equipment availability at 88%. At turnover in December 01, 8 pieces of CESE were on deadline and equipment availability was at 94 percent. NMCB FIVE achieved these improvements despite the high equipment demands of 235,058 miles and 3,717 hours.
