Anchorhead Base

The Anchorhead Base was a minor training base of the Rebel Alliance, dug into the Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine.

The purpose of that base was particular to train rookies in the treacherous walls of the Canyon with the Incom T-16 Skyhopper. It was also the base from which the attack against Devastator was launched before the Battle of Yavin.

Troops and forces that intercepted Imperials during Battle of the Dune Sea and Skirmish in Mos Eisley were also from that base, which explains their immediate action.

Unfortunately, the attackers were traced down and the base was destroyed by three TIEs.

Behind the scenes
The concept of a Rebel training center, and generally a Rebel base on Tatooine, appears only in Star Wars: Rebel Assault and this information is considered apocryphal due to Rebel Assault's canon status. This idea was probably derived from Luke and Biggs' use of the canyon during their teenage years.

However there have been at least two conflicts on Tatooine (Battle of the Dune Sea, Skirmish in Mos Eisley) with Rebel forces. Their immediate presence could be explained by the existence of a base on Tatooine.
