The Bunker
A-502 constructed this bunker as an emergency command postion.  The bunker was created for use only in the
event that Camp Trung Dung was overrun by enemy troops.  It was constructed of concrete and was designed to
withstand heavy mortar attacks.  Once the steel door was closed, the team could survive underground for several days.  
Fortunately, the team never had to go underground.



Bunker Entrance
The bunker contained radios, maps,
additional weapons, and food.  


Bunker Cover
This is the design that made it possible
for the bunker to withstand mortar attacks.


"Fire Arrow"
Much as fire arrows were used in mideval times, this electric version could be controlled from inside the bunker.  
The arrow could be rotated to indicate the direction of an enemy attack.  Because it had lights, the arrow could
be used day or night, making it possible for responding US air units to locate the enemy.
