Combined FOB Operations

Abstract

Being responsible and Operating a Brigade Headquarters Forward Operating Base (FOB), consisting of 4 separate companies, 3 sister services, 2 international services, State Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with a combined strength of over 750 personnel is difficult at best and a nightmare at worst. This paper will show some of the problems encountered, (anticipated or not), and solutions to some of the minor and major issues encountered during my tenure as the mayor and administrator of the day to day operations of a small to medium sized overcrowded FOB with a myriad of units, host nation national workers, and austere living conditions.
