The mission was an opportunity for the Army to showcase its skills in environmental protection. Great. But that's not what armies are for. I'd prefer they practiced killing people who want to take away my freedom.

For Army sailors and divers, this is great training. Every soldier is not combat arms - some transport the bullet launchers, beans and bullets - and clear underwater areas to construct needed ports. This fits in with harbor clearance
