The Mobile Field Base vehicle (MFB) is featured prominently in the ''[[MechWarrior 3]]'' Computer game, as well as its novelization, ''[[Trial Under Fire]]''. It is a massive tracked vehicle, capable of repairing and refitting 'Mechs, salvaging equipment from the battlefield, and serving as a mobile command center behind the enemy lines. Three such vehicles were assigned to each lance of the [[Damocles Commando]] during the operation on [[Tranquil]].

The vehicle is massive, capable of storing large amounts of any equipment required for prolonged operations (in game statistics are 300 tons of equipment, as well as 2 stripped down BattleMech chassis of any weight class). Maximum speed is given by the MechWarrior 3 tech manual as 64 km/h, cruising speed is 43 km/h. When the vehicles deploy, their upper portions unfold, forming a complete 'Mech bay. When three vehicles work together, they are capable of enclosing a 'Mech completely, but even one vehicle is capable of providing efficient (if slower) repairs. Nine such vehicles along with a BattleMech company could be carried by a ''[[Union]]'' class DropShip (it is unknown whether any modifications were required).
