How the naval Seabees got organized with improved
storage efficiency

The Amphibious Construction Battalion One (ACB-1), whose sailors are known as “Seabees” and stationed at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, California, recently redesigned their storage and supply areas to make them more efficient.

Due to the increased expectations for units to maintain high readiness postures, a primary concern was quick and easy access to materials. The department is tasked with
the storage, maintenance and issue of
uniforms and infantry equipment for more
than 450 active-duty Seabees and up to
2,000 reservists.

In the Issue Point and Central Tool Supply storage areas, security and functionality were improved with new high-density mobile systems behind lockable fencing. A third mobile system stores individual infantry equipment in custom-designed lockers stacked four-high.

Storage solutions (design, layout and installation) provided by Linda Fowler, Filefax, San Diego, California, in conjunction with Spacesaver Corporation. .
