Afloat Forward Staging Base

An Afloat Forward Staging Base (AFSB) is a mobile naval facility deployed on a ship or offshore platform that supports military operations. It acts as a base for launching and coordinating missions, enabling rapid response to crises. The AFSB provides essential services like maintenance, logistics, and medical support for troops and equipment without needing a fixed land base. This flexibility enhances maritime security and allows for efficient operations in various environments, making it a valuable asset for modern military forces engaged in humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and combat missions.
