CAMP MOREELL, Kuwait (NNS) -- During its deployment to the Naval Forces Central COmmand (NAVCENT) area of responsibility, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4 is divided in 13 different detachments all with a specific mission.

One Detachment, Camp Moreell, is responsible for performing camp maintenance, ensuring the proper functioning of its facilities and overseeing the welfare of the various incoming troops which are moving to and from the NAVCENT theater of operations.

Camp Moreell is located on an Air Force Base in Kuwait and is serving as the main Seabee ground base and assembly point for all the Seabees who are deploying across the entire Southwest Asia area of responsibility. This is first place personnel will see before they are dispersed to their different destinations and the last before they return to their home and families.

Personnel find a welcoming, hospitable environment, which Det Moreell's crew provides. In addition, the Seabees provide support to the Army Logistics Support Area and the Air Force Air Base. The Seabees at Camp Moreell are enhancing safety measures and recently began refurbishing the MWR facility to improve quality of life, adding internet and phone capabilities and providing a place for troops to relax after hours.

Det Camp Moreell is taking a lot of pride in their work, and it has shown around the camp. NMCB 27 is currently at Camp Moreell waiting to deploy to their final site.

"I have enjoyed my stay in this camp. The living conditions are great and there is a significant improvement in all the aspects of quality of life since I was here in 2005," Builder 1st Class Timothy Davidson of NMCB 27 said.

"I believe so far we are doing an outstanding job, and expect that when we go to do our turn-over with NMCB 11 we will turn over this camp in better condition than we got it in, because we are continuously trying to improve on what we have," Chief Utilitiesman (SCW) Lonnie Cosper said.
