I cleared it with command and they have no problem with giving the town name. It is no secret we are here. They have already attacked this base a few times this year, but since the unit we are replacing has done such a great job of improving our image, the attacks have pretty much stopped. The people like us here. This is a very poor area and anything we can do to help them, they appreciate. Giving out actual coordinates though I can't do though for obvious reasons. Besides, looking at the imagry, google is off quite a bit. There is a town here of about 25K people, and I don't see it on the imagry. Regarding some of the other information, I don't know yet what they are growing or anything. I have not left the base since we got here but should be getting out and about soon. Obviously I can't say when or what we are doing as that is a violation of OPSEC. Once I am out meeting the people I can report more. I have also made friends with the interpreters we have here. Shared Chai and flat bread and cheese with them last night. I will be pumping them for all the information I can get about the area and the people, as well as improving my arabic language skills.
