Background Information:

Camp Shorab is a US military base located in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The base was established in 2010 and was used as a forward operating base for US and Afghan forces. The base was located in the Gereshk district of Helmand Province, which is a key area for poppy cultivation and Taliban activity.

The base was used as a hub for US and Afghan operations against the Taliban and other insurgent groups in the region. It was also used as a staging area for US and Afghan forces conducting operations in other parts of Helmand Province.

In recent years, the base has been the target of several Taliban attacks, including a major attack in 2018 that killed several US and Afghan soldiers. Despite these challenges, the base remained an important hub for US and Afghan operations in the region until its withdrawal in December 2021.
