Book excerpt: The story of the U.S. Navy Seabees and the First Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Bridges to Baghdad tells the story of the "fighting Seabees? and their role in the Iraq War, focusing upon their individual experiences from the time they "snuck" into Kuwait in the fall of 2002 through their redeployment to Iraq as part of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM II in 2004. Bridges to Baghdad also recounts the Seabees' operations at the command level from the perspective of their commander, Rear Admiral Chuck Kubic, including the story of the creation and employment of a new division-level organization, the First Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group (I MEG). This was the first such Naval Expeditionary Engineer formation of its kind since World War II. I MEF Commanding General, Lieutenant General James Conway, later summed up the Seabee?s value to the war effort when he told a key MEG task force commander that "the determination and skill that your Sailors displayed was nothing short of magnificent!"
