Mission Description - The Sea Raven program ensures an
acceptable level of close-in security for aircraft
transiting airfields where security is unknown, or
additional security is needed to counter local threats.
(d) Forward Operating Bases (FOB):
Mission Description - A Forward Operating Base (FOB) is any
secured forward position used to support tactical
operations. A FOB may/may not contain an airfield,
hospital, or other facilities. The base may be used for an

support to them. A FOB also reduces reaction time and
increases time on task to forces operating from it.
