Forward Operating Base



A Forward Operating Base or FOB is a general term used to describe any secured military position established for the purposes of supporting strategic and/or tactical goals on a battlefield.

History
Forward Operating Bases have been utilized by human military forces for centuries. The Covenant also utilized FOBs during the Human-Covenant War.

During the Battle for Zeta Halo, the surviving UNSC personnel from the UNSC Infinity set up at least twelve Forward Operating Bases on the fragmented section of Zeta Halo. However, by March 3rd, 2560, all twelve FOBs had fallen into Banished hands. They would remain that way until May 28, 2560, when John-117 arrived on the Ring and began retaking the FOBs, starting with FOB Golf.

Captured FOBs
In Halo Infinite campaign, there are a total of twelve FOBs that can be recaptured from the Banished. Once recaptured, they can be used to summon weapons, vehicles, and marine reinforcements. They can also be used for fast travel. Recapturing a FOB will also reveal additional targets in the surrounding area.

Capturing a FOB earns the player the Reclaimer achievement, while capturing all twelve FOBs earns the player the Resurgency achievement.
