History
During the Installation 07 conflict, the surviving UNSC personnel from the UNSC Infinity set up at least twelve Forward Operating Bases on Zeta Halo. However, by March 3rd, 2560, all twelve FOBs had fallen into Banished hands.{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #1 - Rubicon Protocol}} They would remain that way until May 28, 2560, when John-117 arrived on the Ring and began retaking the FOBs.
In Halo Infinite
There are a total of twelve FOBs that can be recaptured. Once captured, they can be used to summon weapons, vehicles, and marine reinforcements. They can also be used for fast travel. Capturing a FOB will also reveal additional targets in the surrounding area.[1]

- FOB Alpha
- FOB Bravo
- FOB Charlie
- FOB Delta
- FOB Echo
- FOB Foxtrot
- FOB Golf
- FOB Hotel
