Navy Cargo Handling Battalion

Navy Cargo Handling Battalions (NCHBs) are expeditionary logistics units of the United States Navy.

History

The Cargo Handling Battalions trace their lineage to U.S. Navy's first "Combat Stevedores" - the 41 "Special" Naval Construction Battalions, created during WWII.

Warfare qualification

Sailors assigned to NCHBs are eligible to earn designation as Enlisted Expeditionary Warfare Specialist. To do this, candidates must attend various training events over the course of several months and then demonstrate their knowledge at an oral board.
