 Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 74 turned over control of Camp Covington to the Army's 84th Engineer Battalion during a change of charge ceremony at the camp on U.S. Naval Base Guam. We are making a bit of history today since this is the first time that Army Engineers has taken over the CB mission here in Guam and throughout Oceania. In recent years, the U.S. military has faced some of its most challenging combat deployments and made it a common practice to operate jointly and now we are putting that into practice here as we work together in unity to support the fleet's maritime security and response objectives. In order to meet operational missions around the world, the 84th Engineer Battalion will relieve NMCB 74 as a forward deployed presence in Guam for contingency and humanitarian response, disaster assistance, theater security cooperation and construction readiness operations. NMCB 5Dec Guam, a 21 person support element, will remain on Island to provide logistical and financial oversight of various projects. We have with us today many engineers who have been part of this tremendous military heritage. Regardless of your flavor of engineer as a aim high, ahua or hurrah, the legacy of contingency and peacetime construction remains the same as a combined effort for all those who build and fight in support of our nation's military. The beauty of this mission is in the integration of our two cultures. To all the CBs of NMCB 74, who supported this transition, I thank you very much. You're a tremendous group of professionals who should be extremely proud of both your accomplishments and reputation that you have made. This is not just a Navy mission, but I should say it's a Joint Region Marianas mission because they're here to support the entire Island, not just naval base, but also Anderson Air Force base. Ah, so the interaction is going to be entirely across the Island. From Joint Region Marianas, I'm Shayna Marie Santos.
