Forward Operating Base Fenty, Military airbase annex at Jalalabad Airport, Afghanistan.
Forward Operating Base Fenty is a military airbase facility integrated within Jalalabad Airport, hosting aircraft operations and command structures for international forces. The installation sits at approximately 561 meters elevation and functions as a central hub for flight operations and logistics support.
The base received its name in honor of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph J. Fenty Jr., commander of the 3rd Squadron, 71st Cavalry, who died during a helicopter mission in 2006. This naming reflects the tradition of commemorating those lost during military operations in Afghanistan.
Military personnel from different branches of service maintain regular interactions with local Afghan forces, establishing professional relationships through joint training exercises.
Access is restricted to authorized military personnel due to active security protocols and operational requirements of the installation. Visitors require appropriate credentials and must comply with all facility security measures.
The base leverages its location near major transportation corridors in eastern Afghanistan to support regional operations and logistics. This strategic positioning allows rotation of multiple aviation units through the facility throughout the year.
