Created by the Commandant in 2009, the United States Marine Corps' Experimental Forward Operating Base (ExFOB) brings together stakeholders from across the Marine Corps requirements, acquisition, and technology development communities in a dynamic process to quickly evaluate and deploy technologies that reduce our need for "liquid logistics" today, and to establish requirements for tomorrow. ExFOB guides the development of new requirements documents and informs Marine Corps investment decisions, taking new capabilities "from concept to combat."
