Austin Draguhn Helle is organizing it via Facebook. Details and communication for the event is at this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/672953136132055/
This Wiki web page just condenses the details from various Facebook threads into one place, so that participants can find the details quickly. It's also handy to print out for the event. Double-quoted paragraphs are text copied verbatim from the Facebook page. I added Facebook time stamps, so that you can find the Facebook post quickly, if needed. Anyone may update this FAQ to keep it current.
DISCLAIMER: official announcements and communication are on the Facebook page above. Information here may be outdated as the minute passes.

"Alright, so there has been a lot of questions and concerns raised about the legality of this event, and I want you all to know I have put forth my most diligent efforts in legitimizing this event in every way possible, I have talked to the BLM, FAA, Kern County and San Bernardino County Assessors about land rights and zoning, SBSD: Barstow and Baker post and left a message for the Watch Commander that we will be out there, I'll put in a call the day before and day of as well to make sure we don't have any issues, as per recommended to my by the deputy who assisted me. The facility is littered with bullet holes and spent casings so sound [should] not be an issue, but there are to be NO REAL FIREARMS, there's a whole desert for that, we don't need any issues playing pew pew. THERE IS A STILL ACTIVE PORTION OF THE BASE, The enormous radar tower that looms over us is still in use, and is completely out of bounds, even for just "taking a peek" the entire hill is out of play and only the lower portion is permitted for parking, there should be no one past the old tank factory." - 9/8 2:10pm
Please see the waiver posted on the Facebook page above at 9/8 7:31pm. Please read, print, and sign the waiver.
"Blue is campgrounds, Red is Parking, Yellow is Medical, Brown is lower parking (if needed try to avoid). Morning briefing will START at 0900 at the arena marked on the map, Don't be late." - 9/17
"Alright so here a gameplay map for the AO, X marks where initial spawns will be GREEN is for Rebels, Red is PMC, Blue is coalition, (will be voted on pending attendance day of) white squares are approximate locations of Respawn points, colored square is a basic prediction of who will end up with what." - 9/10 1:12am
"For all of you who have never been to Boron and want a bunch of pictures so that you get the feel of the AO. http://www.flickr.com/photos/coldwararchaeology/5615811428/" - 9/15 5:28pm
"Some footage of the AO from Brown Fox's game last year. Also, wasn't a prison, was an AF station, and there is still a radar dome still active on site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E10C1eHKxBI" - 9/1 7:12am
"Each team will have 1 hostage, each hostage will have the location of an objective. There will be 6 respawn points on the map each placed between 350-500 feet from each other so taking a respawn [doesn't] put you out of the fight [deleted because it no longer applies]. then you have to take a respawn. sub-Objectives are not officalized yet but we're thinking a bomb, and some other goodies." - 9/2 1:50pm
"Rebels: Multicam, DCU, Woodland, MARPAT, ETC. AS LONG AS IT IS FULL UNIFORM TOP AND BOTTOM MATCHING" - 9/16
"PMC: MIX AND MATCH CAMO (EX.WOODLAND TOP AND TAN BOTTOM) OR CIVILIAN CLOTHING ALA BLACKWATER. ONCE AGAIN MUST BE TWO DIFFERENT COLORS TOGETHER. TO AVOID CONFUSION TRY NOT TO WEAR CAMO BOTTOMS OR TOP AT ALL IF POSSIBLE." - 9/16
"ACU has been assigned to PMC for balancing, may be divided based on squads on game day." - 9/17
"please use common sense when making your loadout, its not that hard to differentiate Green from Tan uniforms haha. Thanks" - 9/16
"This is the important part, SO LISTEN UP. TAN AND GREEN WILL BE COMBINED!!!! REBELS VS PMC! if there are ANY issues with this then EVERYONE gets colored bands! respawn will be done on a 10 man squad basis with 1 SL per squad and 1 commander per team. You get hit, you sit down for 2 minutes, get up walk to your squad leader then respawn, squad leaders get hit, sit down for 3 minutes need to respawn on Team commander. team commander sits for 6 minutes, respawn at friendly controlled command point. This way you [don't] need to try and find your friends in the field, you just respawn on them. With that in mind well need to organize squads, squad leaders, and commanders. That means an official roster, and the official roster will be comprised solely from the comments on this post [find post through the Facebook link above]. THERE WILL BE A ROLL CALL FOR THIS ROSTER ON GAME DAY, SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON IT. I need everyone to comment their name, their team name, how many will be rolling with them (their names as well) IF you Do Not Register your squad Here YOU WILL BE SPLIT UP. Comment your name, your team/club name, [Camos] and as many names of the people you are bringing. This roster closes the Thursday before game day, so make sure you and all your friends are on it!!!" - 9/10 2:35pm
"FOAM ROCKETS ARE 25FT KILL FROM WHERE IT IMPACTS, GRENADES ARE 10 FROM WHERE IT STOPS. ALL XO CLEARS A ROOM EXCEPT FOR BEHIND A DOOR OR WALL/CORNER, sorry, that desk wasn't solid enough. THE BURB WILL BE AT THIS EVENT!! Vehicle is a mobile Respawn point and can be CAPTURED BY ANY TEAM, thinking of having it start in no mans land. 3ft radius or direct hit by rocket disables vehicle until it is secured again. grenades DO NOT kill the Burb, only the people on the outside. Command points have 2 sets of flags, on opposing sides, raise one set to contest the building, raise the other to capture it. This prevents those BS Spawn capping moments when you're trying to breach/ getting breached. side objectives will include a bomb and a briefcase, which will be explained at Morning briefing @ 0930, CHRONO BEGINS AT 0900. any disputes will be settled at voting after morning briefing." - 9/9 1:56pm
"Alright ladies and gentlemen there's a few formalities we all need to adhere to for this event to go smoothly, we will be laying some common ground. 430 fps for rifles 500fps for snipers semi only. If your not willing to be shot by it at 20ft, [don't] bring it. SEMI ONLY INDOORS, cmon people, nobody wants to get lit up in the face on full auto. This includes shooting at targets outside the building from inside. No minimum engagement for gas blowback pistols, and no your kriss or mp7 is not a pistol, again, semi only indoors you g18 owners. We're all here to have fun, lets try not to spoil it for anyone." - 9/1 2:51 am
Chrono starts at 0900.
"We will not be requiring face protection but your teeth are not our responsibility, last I checked a face mask is cheaper then a dentist trip. We will however, be enforcing anzi rated eyepro, shooting glasses allowed. Once again, basic personal protective equipment (boots, and gloves are required) [everything] else is recommend." - 9/1 2:51 am
"THERE WILL BE NO FOOD SERVICES, [...] Catering has been cancelled due to lack of pre-registration." - 9/16
"To all of you who haven't played this AO before heres a Disclaimer: It is not a lion claws style event where u stay in a comfy hotel with a bed this is an AO for mature and strong willed individuals. Camping is a must and u need to be able to sleep in a place far less comfortable than your bed, trust me last OP Here I slept in the floor in a hangar with only my sleeping bag. This is an op for the big boys, if u want comfort dont go to this op for its not for u. This is not for the faint of heart so bring ur balls and ur bb's for your gonna need them. Boron is going to be a test of your willpower so don't go home on the first day fight till the end." 9/10 9:58am
"CHARGING STATIONS, LATRINES WITHIN 7 MILES. Plan accordingly. Bring your own shit tickets and maybe a moist towelette. Leave no trace." - 9/16
"Its too hot and too much of a danger to allow fires, its not gonna get below 60, so y'all can handle wearing a coat. If there is strong winds, then even more reason not to have fire." - 9/17
"I've been here 3 times for airsoft , first time it was nearly freezing, second time it was 110� and humid, and the last time its was moderate temperature with constant 30 mph wind."
"Bring baby wipes, they help clean your hands when you eat and your ass." - 9/11 11:28pm
"I've played at the huge boron events each year and you will want to be prepared for wind, possibly rain, and cold at night. The heat can get up to 110 with little to no humidity. Bring a sleeping bag and a couple of blankets just in case. Plenty of water, about 2-3 gallons/11 liters. You won't need that much at all but it helps just in case. I've lived in the Antelope Valley for 20 years and deserts have mood swings in regards to weather." - 9/10 4:40pm
"If you are inside of a building at the AO, bring a broom. I've camped in rat shit/rusty nails/broken glass before there and brooms are like 8-ply toilet paper they are so amazing. Any way to get warm food into your system is great. Portable stove, BBQ (Someone brings a huge BBQ grill every year), MREs, whatever works. It is extra to pack in and pack out but you will appreciate it. Bring toilet paper too, every year someone wanders around asking if someone brought toilet paper because they have to shit and don't want to spare their socks." 9/10 4:40pm
"Seriously bring water though, don't be a retard and be a heat casualty like in boron's operation freedom Sept 8th of 2012." - 9/10 4:40pm
