The Utah Joint Mobile Offshore Base is a Battle Island that can be found in the Great Salt Lake in Kotaka. In earlier days, the JMOB served as a launch platform for aircraft and missiles against the advancing Japanese troops in what would later become Aurono. The base was submergable to hide it from eventual Japanese counterstrikes. When the war was over and Independant Midwest was a devastated wasteland, the lake dried out and the deserted platform was left to rust in the salty sands. It still serves as an emergency shelter to Kotakan citizens in Salt Lake City, who would not reach the Mountain Shelters in the Wasatch Range in time in case of an attack.
