Kandahar Airport in the bottem left of the map, with some Kandahar outskirts then in the middle of the map, Tarin Kowt (Kamp Holland FOB) with a road leading from kandahar to the FOB.
i was sitting about that map idea a bit more today (instead of preping for my final exam
) - so i got some questions about the quote to clarifiy things a bit.
i'd place kandahar airfield between bottom left and center. no need to move it to the left corner imho.
you say:
with some kandahar outskirts. you mean the airfield with kandahar outskirts close to it? doesn't make sence imo since kandahar city is a good way up to the north-west from the airfield. about 18kms according to google earth.
so like i said, kandahar outskirts would be on the top-left corner, far away from the airfield.
for the fob: the map definately needs a fob close to the center, maybe slightly a bit to the south/west of the center, with the ability for helos to land there. but kamp holland is in uruzgan province (i dont have to tell you that anyways
) - so i think an 'imaginary fob' would be in order there.
just look at the map i've posted or take a look around google earth (quite high res at that area) and you'll see that the area between the mountains, where the chanel and the highway passes through - from k.a.f. to kandahar city - is begging for a fob.
.
i just dont like to put a r/l fob somewhere at the completely wrong place, especially since kamp holland isn't even a fob. (the closest fob i could find so far is called 'fob rhino', located aprox 55 kms from kandahar, used by the usmc.
)
anyways, just to clear things up here. nothing to really worry about yet, just collecting intel.
