Kandahar, Afghanistan, 02 December 2001 — Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133 home-ported in Gulfport, Mississippi, help the Marines install a portable helicopter landing pad system on the desert landing strip Rhino, a forward base of operations strategically located outside Kandahar, Afghanistan. This pad will help keep the helicopter pilots from being temporarily blinded by the dust storm created by the rotor wash while landing.
