Salman Pak facility

The Salman Pak, or al-Salman, facility is an Iraqi military facility near Baghdad. It was (falsely?) assessed by United States military intelligence to be a key center of Iraq's biological and chemical weapons programs. The facility came under American control in early April 2003 when it was captured by U.S. Marines. The facility was then referred to as Forward Operating Base (FOB) Carpenter.
