Commanded by Colonel Feyador, the airbase is a moderately fortified military airfield in the Afghan Desert, comprised of a single asphalt landing surface, gravel pathways, tents, and numerous wooden and concrete structures, including an ATC building. The facility is protected by machine-gun nests and surrounded by an electrified fence and barbed wire. An old comrade of the duplicitous Soviet General Koskov, Feyador provides the General with a detachment of men and trucks to assist in his secretive State mission; in reality a private opium smuggling scheme. In the climactic final battle, the airfield is crippled (if not completely destroyed) during a raid by Kamran Shah and his Mujaheddin rebels.
