Forward Operating Bases have been utilized by human military forces for centuries.

During the Installation 07 conflict, 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.[1] 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.[2]

In Halo Infinite
