Forward Operating BaseAfter the operation begins, each faction's commanders may order the establishment of a forward operating base (FOB) at any location of their choice within the area of operations (AO) that is at least 300 feet away from the opposing faction's permanent self-respawn location and at least 150 feet away from all of the conquest control sites. To do so, they must place a special "FOB RESPAWN" flag that will serve as a second self-respawn pole for everyone in their faction. However, at any time, the opposing faction may come through and deactivate it by simply taking it down, but it is not allowed to be moved or hidden by the opposing faction. There is no limit to the number of times a FOB flag may be put up or taken down. At startex, each faction's FOB flag will be located at its permanent self-respawn location. After the FOB site is selected and the FOB flag is placed, it may not be relocated, so the faction commanders should choose wisely.
