A Combat Outpost is a small military base established in a conflict zone to support operations and enhance security. These outposts are strategically located to monitor enemy movements, provide a base for patrols, and offer a safe haven for troops. They often consist of tents, vehicles, and essential supplies, allowing soldiers to operate effectively in remote areas. Combat outposts are typically manned by a small number of personnel, who may be part of a larger military unit, such as the United States Army or Marine Corps. Their primary purpose is to maintain a presence in the area, gather intelligence, and engage with local communities to foster relationships and stability.
