Forward Operating Base Arian, Military forward operating base in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan
Description
Forward Operating Base Arian was a military installation in Ghazni Province that functioned as an operational center for international and Afghan forces. The facility featured two asphalt helipads used regularly for troop movements and supply missions throughout the region.
History
The base was established in 2011 after expanding from a previous combat post and operated under international command during its active years. Operations concluded in 2013 as the international military presence in the region decreased.
Culture
The facility served as a point of cooperation between United States Armed Forces and Afghan National Army personnel throughout its operational period.
Practical
Access to the former military base is not open to the public as it remains in a remote area of Ghazni Province with ongoing security concerns. Visitors considering the region should check current safety conditions and local developments before making any travel plans.
