Forward Operating Base Jackson


Forward Operating Base Jackson was a military base used by both British and US forces located just west of Sangin Village, Sangin District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
The FOB was named after British soldier Private Damien 'Jacko' Jackson of the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment who was killed in Sangin in 2006.
It was initially used by the British Armed Forces as part of Operation Herrick before being turned to the United States Marine Corps during 2010.
In early 2012 FOB Jackson was renamed FOB Sabit Qadam by Coalition forces.
