Okay everyone is asleep but how many personnel does PB2 have?

PB2 has about 300 personnel.

Is PB2 the same scale as PB1 or larger, or smaller?

PB2 is physically smaller.

Where geographically?

The facility is buried under a dam and reservoir built at coordinates 34.40917°, -88.34093°. Morrow Industries was one of the contractors for the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the equipment yard was located in the Mud Creek basin off John Rankin Highway (34.38795°, -88.36900°). This provided a cover story for building PB2. After the waterway was completed the equipment yard was abandoned.

Does PB2 also have a large contingent of non combatants?

If non-combatants means children of the facility staff then there are about 30 non-combatants.

More commo?

An equal amount of communications equipment.

More production facilities?

Facilities to produce unidrug were incorporated on site.

More supplies?

About half of the supplies of material (ammo, weapons, spare vehicle parts, etc.) listed for PB1.

Or is it the prototype that was moved to backup status with PB1 online?

It was built as a designed back up to PB1 but with a supplemental purpose if PB1 survived.

Is it compromised? Is it knocked offline by Soviets or suspicious elements of the U.S. forces striking out in all directions?

The base had it own radiation monitoring systems tied into computers. Unlike PB1 there were no active personnel during the attack. PB2 was supposed to be activated automatically six years after the war if not cancelled by a signal from an active PB1. That signal was never sent so PB2 should have been activated a year after PB1 but it did not. The computer control room which housed the activation computer for PB2 personnel and the activation codes for other teams was flooded destroying the computer system. The rest of the base is intact and the teams are still there. As long as the dam provides the necessary electrical power to keep the cyro units active the team will sleep for millennium.

Does it have any capabilities that PB1 did not offensive, defensive, or purely reconstruction?

Besides being the back up to PB1, PB2 was given its own purpose to coordinate the reconstruction of infrastructure east of the Mississippi River. PB2 has several engineering units assigned to it that were tasked with repairing and rebuilding the electrical generation capacity of the hydroelectric dams across the United States, repair and rebuilding the rail system to facilitate the distribution of material and personnel and the repair and rebuilding of the interior waterways to facilitate the distribution of personnel and material.

What kind of personnel were emplaced there?

About one third of the personnel would shift focus to reviving the MP teams if PB1 was incapacitated. If PB1 survived the base would begin reviving its assigned teams and begin its assigned task. The remaining two hundred personnel formed the cadre of five forty man prime engineering teams. Two of these teams with supplemental workers could oversee the rebuilding of dams on rivers, remove, repair, replace and re-install turbines and generators at dams and other electrical generation plants. Two of these teams were specialists in railways and the last team was composed of specialists that could repair inland ports and waterways. Slightly less than half of these teams’ personnel were former US Army Corps of Engineers specialists. These teams have remote facilities where their extensive equipment was stored.

How's that?
