About 20 years ago I was living in Chambersburg, PA, which is
--just outside Letterkenney Army Depot (missile refurbishment, M109 overhaul, ammo disposal, and vehicle mothballling in huge oil-tank-like controlled environment structures). Rumors abounded among the locals about onsite underground hardened C-3 bunkers, anti-aircraft missile batteries concealed by innocent-looking buildings or houses, and many other interesting postulations.
--about 18 miles northwest of Ft.Ritchie, MD (support facility for Site R),
--25 miles NW from Raven Rock/Site R/Alternative Joint Communication Center/"little Pentagon",
--35 miles NW from Camp David,
--45 miles from Fort Detrick (Class 4 lab with lots of biowarfare goodies),
--20 miles N of Hagerstown, MD where Fairchild Aircraft was building the A-10 Warthog at the time.
--30 miles SW from the Carlisle Barracks/Army War College, and
--15 miles NW from Site Cannonball, a hardened communications relay/possible emergency relocation site.
Not to mention 50 miles W of BMY in York, PA (producing M88 Hercules and M109 SP guns), 60 SW of the PA National Guard HQ in Harrisburg, and 80 SW of Ft. Indiantown Gap.
Not the bullseye, but in the midst or vicinity of several fairly nice and juicy targets.
"Collateral Damage", anyone?
