Looks like a well built FOB judging by the runway surface. I spent a lot of time pounding around Helmand in 2006, from Lashkar Gah to Sangin, to Musa Qulay, and aside from the Brit base at L-G there was nothing that nice. Also, about Brit mess food at L-G, baking your "fried" eggs in the oven? Why!? Ungodly bouncing eggs, and greasy breakfast bangers... gak! ...FOB Robinson was the nearest safe harbour, and even that place was just a big collection of Hesco's.
