While there the battalion became part of movie history by providing the men and equipment for staging portions of the filming of The Fighting Seabees.

[4] At Port Hueneme the 105th boarded the United States Army Transport Sea Devil bound for New Guinea via Townsville, Australia.

[5] At Milne, the primary tasks were the construction of an Amphibious Training Center, the battalion's camp, a Liberty ship pier, and a tank farm on Swinger Bay (adjacent the Coral Sea).

[2] The Seabee's historian William Huie states that if all the warehouses built by the 105th at Milne were combined it would create a structure 40' x 75,000' (15 miles).

Of note are two 105 specialized details of divers that traveled over a hundred miles on undisclosed missions.

[2] During WWII there were five battalions tasked with pontoons, barges and the building of ship to shore causeways: CBs 70, 81, 111, 128, and 302.

At this time, the battalion "absorbed the duties and materials of the old Pontoon Training Unit of COMPHIBTRALANT".

The Navy changed CB designations that year and they both became Mobile Construction Battalions MCBs.

Since World War II, ACB 2 has distinguished itself in multiple operations including: On 28 January 1969 a detachment from Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 augmented by an additional 17 Seabee divers from both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets as well as the 21st NCR began the installation of the Tektite habitat in Great Lameshur Bay at Lameshur, U.S. Virgin Islands.
