Google Eye View, FOB Iskan


Google is truly amazing.
Click on the thumbnails for full size images.
Sam's Foward Operating Base (FOB Iskan) is 35 miles South of Baghdad along the Euphrates River. The "Green Fields" North of the FOB are actually fish farms. The FOB is contiguous to a power plant that supplies about 60% of Baghdad's Electricity. The 1-501st has a patrol area that extends West, across the river, past Jurf (Jurf as Sakhr).
