Forward Operating Bases (FOB)

Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) are military installations set up close to areas of conflict or operational focus. They serve as strategic points for troops to launch missions, store supplies, and provide support. FOBs enable forces to maintain a presence in a region, conduct operations efficiently, and respond quickly to threats. They are typically smaller and less fortified than main bases and can vary in terms of amenities and personnel. FOBs play a crucial role in enhancing military effectiveness in diverse environments by promoting mobility and supporting local engagements.
