A forward mountain base in the Royal Air Force (RAF) refers to a temporary or semi-permanent operational facility established near a mountainous area to support air operations. These bases are strategically located to enhance the RAF's ability to conduct missions in challenging terrain, providing logistical support, maintenance, and accommodation for personnel. They facilitate rapid deployment and improved response times for air missions, particularly in areas where conventional bases may be too far or compromised.
