Forward Operating Base Chapman, Military forward operating base in Khost Province, Afghanistan
Forward Operating Base Chapman stands 2 miles east of Khost city, serving as a strategic military installation for United States Armed Forces operations.
The base received its name from Sergeant First Class Nathan Chapman, who died in 2002 as the first American soldier killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan.
The facility transformed from a military outpost into a central hub for CIA operations, reflecting the changing nature of American military presence in Afghanistan.
The base maintained specific security protocols to facilitate meetings with informants while supporting drone operations and intelligence gathering in the region.
On December 30, 2009, the base experienced a devastating attack when a triple agent detonated explosives, causing the second-highest casualty count in CIA history.
