forward arming and refuelling point
From Warlike
Q97738009
A forward arming and refuelling point (FARP) or forward area refuelling point is a NATO term for an area where aircraft can be refuelled and re-armed at a distance closer to their area of operations than their main operating base. This reduced distance allows a faster turnaround time during sustained operations. FARPs are typically temporary, transitory facilities - particularly if the forward edge of the battle area is highly mobile, or if there is a high threat from enemy aircraft or artillery.
