"The Seabees are the Construction Battalions of the United States Navy. The Seabees have a history of building bases, bulldozing and paving thousands of miles of roadway and airstrips, and accomplishing myriad other construction projects in a wide variety of military theatres "

So the Navy is in charge of general construction for all the military branches?

The Air Force has Civil Engineering Squadrons. The SeaBees are famous for tuning up airstrips on deserted islands in no time flat.

Especially after their island hopping work in the Pacific in WWII.
