Camp Salerno / Forward Operating Base Salerno, is located just north of Khowst. The facility was initially occupied by the 3rd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and they named it for the beach head that the 505th parachuted onto on September 14, 1943. FOB Salerno is bigger than Orgun-E, but smaller than Kandahar. Camp Salerno is in the province of Khost, close to the border with Pakistan, where hundreds of Taleban and al-Qaeda fighters are believed to be hiding

Finally
Well Im finally in Salerno. It only took a week to get here but i made it. Because of the amount of Soldiers coming in and out of the theater of operation, flights in and out of BAB (Baghram Airforce Base) are difficult. So I was stuck there for 4 days trying to get a space A flight over the mountain into Salerno. Salerno is in Khost and is in between mountain ranges. Ill send pics in my next post. Thanks for all the support.
