"The group is currently based out of a secret base in Balad, Iraq." I guess it's not secret anymore.
Re: "secret base"
Public info:
There's only one base at Balad. It's the largest base in Iraq, about 3x5 miles, two huge airstrips, and the emergency evac hospital to Germany (has been on TV specials a couple times lately). 1/2 is Army Logistics Support Area Anaconda, something less than that is Balad Air Base. Big KBR operation.
Enough said. You do not want to mess with Special Ops. Zip lips.
Out.
