Forward Operating Base Data

[kalos72]

I found this document tonight...was a first for me.

My group was talking tonight about setting up smaller FOB's at each county seat in Texas to help control the area. Initially it would be for military use, core county needs like clinic, food warehouse, town hall etc.

Later handed over to local militia forces and LE.

Intresting Note

Take Note if your building a base anywhere

1. A 30 vehicle initial convoy was required to make one FOB adequate for living and defendable in Afghanistan; subsequently needed another 20 trucks of supplies, 8 fuel trucks, and 2 trucks carrying a Bobcat and a Small Emplacement Excavator (SEE)

2. “In addition to normal logistics packages, the 411th Engineer Brigade sent more than 300 containers of lumber, concertina wire, and electrical parts to FOB Hammer” (Iraq)

3. A 600 soldier FOB requires a convoy of 22 trucks per day to supply the base with fuel or water and to truck away wastewater and solid waste

Tallil Air Force Base (now transferred back to Iraqi control), for example, was originally built for 3,000 soldiers and had 22 barracks, 32 headquarters buildings, 3 dining facilities, 7 warehouses, 7 maintenance facilities, and 29 other support buildings such as a firehouse, jail, and mosque. Utilities included wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plant, and an electrical generation plant.46 FOB Salerno had a gym, with exercise machines and big screen TVs, laundry, offices, hospital, morgue, and a church.47 Other FOBs had variations of similar facilities and equipment

Well a FOB in game is going to be much different than what one now looks like.
Say a re forced platoon a humve or 2 civilian trucks and they set up in a strip mall. And tell everyone that they are with the government and they are here to help.

My campaign has rather large ones...battalion size with civil buildings inside the walls.
