Were USAF Red Horse and Prime BEEF units ever trained in combat skills
before? Did they see any action that you know about? The Seabees have been
trained for quite a while by the USMC.

Red Horse and Prime BEEF units did extensive combat construction in
SEA during the conflict, often under direct fire. Seabees, Marines and
Army Combat Engineers also did a lot of remarkable stuff in hot zones.
