Forward Operation Base's (FOB / Camps) Iraqi Theater

          As in most wars bases are established by the first units to occupy the area. When the units move on or are replaced by new units, the bases are renamed. The normal progression are names to evoke the warrior spirit or unit occupying the area, followed later by the names of specific casualties, and towards the end the names are changed to reflect the country or area history to promote civic relations. As the area is secured the term FOB is replaced by "Camp." Such is the progression in Iraq.
