FOB Blanik

Forward Operating Base Blanik (short form: FOB Blanik) is a military base located in the semi-autonomous province of Bystrica, Chernarus.

Overview[]

Located in the southern half of Bystrica, FOB Blanik was constructed by BYSFOR peacekeepers from the Czech Army. It is used as a staging ground for counterinsurgency operations against the self-proclaimed militia army of Radan Miyović.^[1]^[2]

The small FOB was primarily established to support the Army's elite 601st Special Forces Group (601st SFG), housing an aviation and mechanised infantry unit.^[3] It is surrounded by Hesco barriers and has three guard towers built on each corner of the base (aside from the north-east).

Facilities[]

Barracks[]

A makeshift barracks section, fortified with additional Hesco barriers, is set up in the centre of the base. It consisted solely of canvas tents to house the FOB's personnel.

Medical bay[]

A medical bay is constructed on the north-eastern corner of the FOB. Three medical tents provide support to wounded personnel.

Motor pool[]

All base vehicles are stored on the western side. Logistical trucks are also stationed here to repair, refuel and rearm vehicles.

Helipad[]

A marked helipad is set up on the south-eastern side of the FOB. There is only enough space to support a single helicopter, which is reserved for exclusive use with the 601st SFG detachment.

Although BYSFOR units managed to negotiate a ceasefire the people are still not safe. Part of the area is controlled by col. Radan Miyović who is responsible for ethnic cleanups in the North of the country. Thanks to the testimonies and intel we were able to identify his area of operation."

Podle posledních informací se poslední zbytky Mijovičových povstalců soustředili na jediném místě. K tomuto úkolu byla vybrána naše jednotka ve spolupráci s raketovými dělostřelci. A jelikož Pandurům se podařilo pročísnout oblast a zničit povstalcům téměř všechny vozidla, předpokládáme, že zbylá budou právě v tomhle táboře. Průzkum a navádění útoku provede tým Oko. Já s nimi budu ve spojení. Můj volací znak je Topol. Zbytek jednotky bude zajišťovat bezpečnost u výchozí pozice. Nějaké dotazy? Dobře, za pět minut odjezd. [Gentlemen, we have just one opportunity to finish things here. According to the latest Intel, the remnants of Miyović´s rebels are concentrated in a single location. Our unit was chosen to take them out in cooperation with an artillery battery. Because the Pandurs managed to sweep the area and destroy almost all of the rebel vehicles, we assume that the rest of them will be in this camp. Investigation and guiding of the attack will be provided by team Eye. I'll be in radio contact with them. My signal is Poplar. The rest of the unit will ensure safety at the initial position. Any questions? Good, five minutes to departure.]"
