United States Naval Construction Battalions, better known as the Navy Seabees, form the U.S. Naval Construction Forces. The Seabee nickname is a heterograph of the initial letters "CB" from the words "Construction Battalion". They are also sometimes called "Dirt Sailors", a U.S. Navy nickname for personnel, often Seabees or expeditionary combat command forces, who operate on land rather than at sea. They build infrastructure, operate heavy equipment, and support combat operations, often in deployed, dusty environments and Sail the 7 Dirt Seas.

This poster is dedicated to my father, MSgt Andy Anderson, USAF (ret). He served in the Navy 'Seabees' before joining the Air Force (Air National Guard) and deployed to Diego Garcia, constructing the airfield that was used to launch strikes in Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. These Diego facilities that still stand today we're used by my brother, SrA Heath Anderson, when he deployed to Diego Garcia with the Oregon ANG Security Forces. -Nick, artist.
   Diego Garcia is a tropical, footprint-shaped coral atoll located south of the equator in the Indian Ocean (“Footprint of Freedom”) and is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory. The U.S. Naval construction battalions 'Seabees' arrived in 1971 to begin construction on their largest peacetime project that took 11 years and cost $200 million. It now accommodates the Navy's largest ships and the biggest military cargo jets, proving invaluable thanks to the thousands of hardworking Seabees who helped build this strategic remote U.S. military facility.  'Can Do'
