Camp Bastion

Camp Shorabak (formerly Camp Bastion) is an Afghan Ministry of Defense airbase located northwest of the city of Lashkar Gah in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Until 2011, Sam Nicholls was stationed here as an army medic, where she worked alongside Iain Dean, even having an affair with him. In July that year, Sam was called out to a tea house where a suicide bombing had taken place. During the investigation of the premises, Sam mistook an innocent civilian reaching for his inhaler as one of the bombers and shot him dead. This contributed to her leaving the army and returning to Holby where her husband Dylan Keogh worked.
