 ## Forward Operating Base (FOB) Construction
 FOBs can be built by loading special FOB crates from a **Logistics** unit into a C-130 or other large aircraft configured in the script. To load the crate use the F10 - Troop Commands Menu. The idea behind FOBs is to make player vs player missions even more dynamic as these can be deployed in most locations. Once destroyed the FOB can no longer be used.
