Camp Al-Saqr
Camp Al-Saqr, referred to by some media sources as Camp Falcon, Forward Operating Base Falcon, Joint Service Station (JSS) Falcon, or Combat Outpost Falcon, was a United States military forward operating base in Iraq a short distance outside Baghdad, some south of the Green Zone. In OIF 2004; it was designated as "Camp Ferrin-Huggins". , the base housed up to 5,000 troops.
==History==
In September 2003, the construction of FOB Falcon (as-Saqr Base) in Iraq was a major engineering project for the 439th Engineering Battalion. The battalion transported more than 100,000 tons of gravel for constructing roads, and took part in construction of the base's structures.
Because FOB Falcon was considered by Iraqi officials to be outside of Baghdad proper, it was not affected by the planned withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009.〔
It was not uncommon for bases like FOB Falcon to be mortared by insurgents who used the surrounding neighborhoods as cover, risking the lives of Iraq civilians and those who lived on the FOB while they served. Small arms fire and the use of RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades) were also common and more prevalent during the early years of the deployments. The following is one such account. There were, unfortunately, attacks that occurred where loss of life was the result.
