USMC first combat use of EABO with forward FARPs and sensor bases in Epic Fury

The post describes the first confirmed combat implementation of the USMC Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) concept, including establishing austere forward arming and refueling points (FARPs) and sensor expeditionary bases inside a contested missile/drone threat environment. This is novel as it moves EABO from exercises into real combat sustainment and force-protection practice, extending aircraft reach while reducing reliance on vulnerable fixed bases and tanker support.
