Update on FOB Falcon

On October 10, 2006, at approximately 10:40 p.m., a 82mm mortar round, fired by militia forces from a residential area in Abu T-Shir, caused a fire at an Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) at FOB Falcon. The ASP, containing tank and artillery rounds, in addition to smaller caliber ammunition, set off a series of large explosions. About 100 troops from the 4th Infantry Division were reported to be stationed at the base at the time, but no injuries were reported.

(I knew about the exploding ammo dump, but not its location at FOB Falcon. I found this out from here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/rasheed.htm .... Pa.)
