Black Hell Squad is an annual competition that honors the NMCB-133 Seabees who participated in the battle of Iwo Jima during World War II; the competition itself showcases Seabees skills and their Can-Do atti- tude. On Feb. 19, 1945, the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion joined the Fifth Marine Amphibious Corps and the Fourth Marine Division for the am- phibious assault on Iwo Jima. The en- tire force landed on Iwo Jima with the ?rst assault waves of the Fourth Marine Division. The 133rd suffered severe ca- sualties during the bitter ?ghting that followed, and the unit distinguished it- self in both front-line combat and con- struction. The 133rd had 370 casualties, more than 40 percent of the 875 men who landed and the highest percentage in Seabee history. The Black Hell Squad competitions included events and scenarios designed to test knowledge, teamwork and lead- ership. The competition was conducted in three phases, the ?rst of which, mili- tary block training, was a classroom refresher course. Medical and ?rst aid, operational risk management, safety, chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) environments, convoy security operations, communications, defensive operations, ?ghting positions and pa- trol maneuvers were a few of the topics covered. Phase one scores were based on testing conducted at the conclusion of the classroom phase. Phase two offered Seabees hands- on training. Squads focused on physi- cal training, defensive positions con- struction and patrol planning. Squads constructed two-man M-16 ?ghting positions and one crew-served weapon ?ghting position during the defensive portion. Squads were also graded on planning a patrol and brie?ng the pa- trol order. The top ?ve ranked squads from the ?rst two phases moved on to phase three, which tested the ability of the squads to perform skills correctly and in a timely manner. The scenarios tested skills in communications, weapons familiariza- tions, medical actions, land navigations and CBR operations. The squad with the highest score who was named NMCB-133s 2009s Black Hell Squad was Bravo Company, 1st Platoon, 3rd Squad led by Utilities- man 1st Class John Meyer, USN. Second place was Alfa Company, 2nd Platoon, 2nd Squad, led by Construction Me- chanic Petty Of?cer 1st Class Brandon Jeffery, USN, and ?nishing third was Bravo Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Squad led by Construction Electrician 1st Class Manuel Perez, USN.
