 Underwater Construction Team 1 and Naval Mobile Construction Team 11 came together to participate in Operation Matador. The exercise is designed for naval construction units to practice command and control elements with real-world scenarios. All of this is a part of becoming an adaptive force package so that we can accomplish missions when we deploy out. Working together, NMCB 11 and UTC-1 dug out, welded, brought to the surface and took out a simulated military shipping container. The mission was a success. These CVs live up to their name by going underwater but above expectations. This was one of the required operational capabilities for the Navy that we're practicing here for port openings. And I feel like we hit the nail on the head and we accomplished it real well. Corporal Anika Moody, Naval Station, Rhoda.
