Forward Operating Base (FOB)

A Forward Operating Base (FOB) is a military facility established in a conflict zone to support operations closer to the frontline. It serves as a base for troops, providing them with essential services such as shelter, food, and medical care. FOBs allow military forces to conduct missions, gather intelligence, and maintain a presence in strategically important areas. They are typically smaller and less fortified than main bases, enabling quicker deployment and flexibility in operations. FOBs play a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness and responsiveness of military forces in various missions and situations.
