From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Forward Operating Base Davis is a Forward Operating Base near Tarin Kowt, near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan.[1]

The base was formerly known as "Forward Operating Base Ripley".[1] It was under this name, in July 2005, that several combat engineers beat two captives. James Hayes and Kevin D. Myricks were convicted by a General Court Martial. A third GI, whose name was withheld, was subject to non-judicial punishment.
