ENGINEER DETACHMENT ' We ' ll Either Find A Way Or Make One. SSgt Rudy R. Eakins Delacbmcnl Chief Sgt Carl W.Hughes Jr. Platoon Sergeant Earning the reputation as the Work-horses of the MSSG did not come as a matter of circumstances for the Marines in this Detach- ment-they earned it! The 35 Marines create five individu- ally functional sections, and meld together and create a synergy capable of accom- plishing nearly an thing handed down to them. Charged with the broadest mission in the Group, the Detachment answers the call through their sections which include Heavy Equipment. Bulk Fuel, Water, Electrical, and Combat Engineers. Mis- sions range from construct- ing base camps for thousands of Marines, to blowing obsta- cles with demolition. During this WestPac, the Mighty En- gineers have participated in multiple multinational am- phibious exercises promoting an American forward pres- ence, including real-world force protection efforts in the Middle East.
