An FOB may or may not contain an airfield , hospital , or other facilities . The base may be used for an extended period of time .

In its most basic form , an FOB consists of a ring of barbed wire around a position with a fortified entry control point , or ECP . More advanced FOBs include an assembly of earthen dams , concrete barriers , gates , watchtowers , bunkers and other force protection infrastructure . They are often built from Hesco bastion s . In Afghanistan during 2011 there were 137 British bases however as of March 2013 bases are closing on average of one a week and in April 2013 when Operation Herrick 17 finishes there will be only 14 left .

Acquisition and Cross - Servicing Agreement Acquisition and Cross - Servicing Agreement ( ACSA ) are negotiated on a bilateral basis with United States allies or coalition partners that allow US forces to exchange most common types of support , including food , fuel , transportation , ammunition , and equipment . The agreement does not , in any way commit a country to any military action . As of mid - 2004 , the US had ACSAs with 76 countries , including most NATO nations , as well as the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency ( NAMSA ) , NATO Allied Command Transformation , and Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe ( SHAPE ) . ACSAs diminish logistics burdens and are considered vital logistics enablers by providing on site commanders increased interoperability , enhanced operational readiness and cost effective joint support . The ACSA accomplishes this by establishing a mechanism to provide llogistical supplies between two parties in exchange for reimbursement either in cash , replacement in kind , or equal value exchange . History . The Acquisition and Cross Servicing Agreement ( ACSA ) statute ( formerly known as " NATO Mutual Support Act " ) was enacted to simplify exchanges of logistic support , supplies , and services between the United States and other NATO forces . It was subsequently amended in 1986 , 1992 , and 1994 to permit ACSAs with the governments of eligible non - NATO countries . It also requires equal - value exchanges ( EVEs ) of logistic support , supplies , and services and allows ACSAs with United Nations organizations and to authorize the loan or lease of equipment . Annual reports are required listing all ACSA transactions in the previous fiscal year and projecting requirements for the next fiscal year . The ACSA authorities provide the combatant commanders and the Service component or sub - unified commands the means to acquire and provide mutual logistic support during training and expulsion , exercises and military operations , or to permit expedited access to the logistics assets of foreign country armed forces to satisfy the logistics support requirements of deployed US Armed Forces .
