The primary mission of the bridge erection boat (BEB) is to assist U.S. Army Multirole Bridge Company (MRBC) units in maneuvering, constructing, and operating the improved ribbon bridge (IRB) during bridging and rafting operations. As a secondary function, the BEB can be used as a safety boat or for troop and cargo transport and patrol and reconnaissance missions. The BEB is a 27- by 8-ft aluminum hull, twin engine, twin hydrojet-powered vessel. The Mk II R is powered by twin Cummins 6BT 5.9-L, six-cylinder 359-in.3, 210-hp marine diesel engines equipped with Delphi rotary fuel injection pumps.
