The Afghaniskasky Military District is the Human Reform League’s western front’s southeastern most base, situated around the ancient (now essentially ruins) city of Bagram in the Hindu Kush mountains. Many Human Reform League soldiers question the necessity of controlling Afghanistan, especially with its blisteringly hot summers and frigid winters.

If nothing else, the Afghaniskasky base is certainly in a very difficult location to attack. Its position on a relatively level plain is surrounded by high mountains on all four sides, with only a few safe passes between them (all of which can easily have fire from the base’s artillery directed on them). Crossing the peaks from the air makes one a complete bullseye thanks to the usually clear skies, and bored League gunners would be more than happy to have an excuse to shoot anything moving. The base is spread out over a relatively wide area, with airfields and hangars forming a broad plaza of sorts. The defensive perimeter is staggered in arrangement, with segments of V- and W-shaped wall overlapping to create a dangerous approach for any units that make it through the passes. Bunkers and revetments protect most of the important infrastructure, and entrenched roads around various areas of the base allow supplies and mobile suits to move about easily during artillery attacks (as well as provide for new defense perimeters to be drawn up if enemy units breach the outer lines).

Expeditions to the ruins beyond the base and any sort of activity outside the marked roads are discouraged due to the heavy and rather arbitrarily mine-laying that has occurred.
