Fiddler's Green was an expeditionary fire base in Afghanistan built by the United States Marine Corps. It was located off Route 605 in Nawa-I-Barakzayi District of Helmand Province near the border with Pakistan at what the Marine Corps considered a "chokepoint to Taliban activity." It was originally built by the 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines in 2009 for Operation Strike of the Sword.
It was built on a flood plain, requiring Marine engineers to make improvements to the infrastructure.
