Camp Maxwell was a military installation located on the island of Stratis in the Republic of Altis and Stratis.

Overview[]

A former military camp located in the woods of central Stratis, Maxwell was established by U.S.-led peacekeepers from NATO's multinational Task Force Aegis. It is named after British surveyor Martin P. Maxwell, the original architect who laid out the plans for the construction of the Stratis Air Base.[1]

There are no roads that lead directly into Maxwell. It can only be accessed on foot by going through the surrounding forest or landing via helicopter at an improvised helipad set up in a clearing south-east of the camp itself.

The camp was destroyed by artillery strikes on the evening of July 7th, 2035[2], and has not been rebuilt since.[3][4]

Remnants of TF Aegis return to the ruins of Maxwell (2035)

Maxwell was among the first of the installations on Stratis that were dismantled as part of NATO's ongoing efforts to pull out of the region.[5]

However, on July 7th, 2035[2], the camp was repurposed by the peacekeepers of TF Aegis into a makeshift base after Altian forces launched an unprovoked attack against the task force.[6] The survivors of the initial attack rallied under their sole commanding officer and launched several raids against the Altians.[7]

The camp was eventually discovered and targeted by the Altian military on the evening of July 7th.[2] Mortars pummelled the camp and wiped out many survivors, leaving just a handful uninjured and the rest as walking wounded.[3] Maxwell was subsequently abandoned by the survivors and as of August 15th, 2035, remains destroyed.[4]

Stephenson. Couple others I didn't really know. Most of the rest of us are basically walking wounded. Anyway, the AAF pulled back. For now at least. Fuck knows why. As you can see ... things are pretty fucked up here. So, we're moving out. Miller's called a meet. Get your shit together. Head over when you're ready."

Then again, command doesn't really seem to know or particularly care what's going on. Part of me can't really blame them."

You're one of the last groups we've been in contact with. Captain Miller's coordinating things. Believe it or not, he's the ranking officer left on this fucking rock. He's just over there ... setting up a temporary briefing area now. We're pooling what little weapons and ammo we have just beside it. It's not exactly an armory, but we need to take stock of whatever we've got left. So, for now, we're divided up into four squads, Alpha through Delta. I'm leading Delta - and your squad leader's just over there - Sergeant Conway's heading up Alpha, you guys must know each other. Anyway, Miller's got the details. A helo went down in a forest nearby. He's putting together a plan. Get your shit together and report in when your set, Corporal. We'll try to sort out exactly what the fuck is going on."
