FOB Hammer

FOB Hammer

FOB Hammer is a Forward Operating Base for American forces in Iraq.

Air Force Red Horse engineers from Virginia Beach, Virginia built FOB Hammer in a remote desert area near Balad, Iraq in a mere 45 days. The 3rd Brigade Combat Team housed the FOB by May 2007. The FOB cost about $4.5 million to construct. In May 2008, 3rd BCT soldiers began returning home to the states, and they will be replaced as needed by other forces.
