Based primarily on the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Operations Officer Handbook , this Handbook was prepared by the Seabee Readiness Division of the Naval School, Civil Engineer Corps Officers (CECOS), Port Hueneme, California.

2 Like its predecessor, this Handbook is designed for NCF crewleaders who want a dependable and comprehensive guide for construction planning and execution. While it is intended to be the primary tool for construction planning and execution, it is only one of many references useful to the crewleader . The references noted in this Handbook should be reviewed for more specific direction. The crewleader is expected to insert the most current and relevant directives to make the Handbook more specific to their unit's requirements. The role of the Seabee crewleader is a very challenging. The crewleader is an estimator who meticulously identifies the materials, tools, equipment and labor resources required to complete a project. The crewleader is an astute scheduler and who develops a workable construction plan.

3 The crewleader is a skilled technician who develops and implements safety, quality control and environmental plans. The crewleader is a visionary who coordinates the people, materials, tools and equipment to execute the daily construction effort. The crewleader is a conscientious shepherd of government funds who spends frugally and protects and properly uses tools, material and equipment. The crewleader is an administrator who maintains detailed construction logs and accurate timekeeping and provides construction status reports to the chain of command. Lastly, the crewleader is an accomplished leader who motivates and cultivates our most valuable resource, our people. The crewleader interfaces with many people within and outside of the Seabee unit on a daily basis. Crewleaders must understand every facet of their construction organization, especially their own responsibilities to that organization.

4 The CLH discusses these responsibilities and provides guidelines for accomplishing the many tasks required of a crewleader . It is written for crewleaders and their chain of command. Although it is developed around the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion construction organization, it serves as a guide for all NCF units to plan and execute construction tasking. Although much is new in the CLH including the redesigned cover, much remains the same. Users of the previous edition should replace it with this one. The primary changes center on the new Seabee Construction Management software, CBCM Also, many updates come from the revised OPSO Handbook and comments from the fleet. CECOS was chartered by the NCF Executive Steering Committee to develop and maintain construction planning and execution tools.

5 The by-products of CECOS's efforts are this Handbook , Seabee Construction Management (CBCM) computer software and formal courses of instruction.
