The garrison is located a few miles from coalition headquarters, which is just outside the city of Farah. The close proximity to coalition headquarters will help the station with communication, partnership and training.
The project was funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Work began in early 2008 to install barracks, power plants, communications systems, a wastewater treatment plant and sewer system.
A military unit from the US Army’s 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Brigade is already at the facility working with an ANA unit battalion.
