The two entrances to this USAFIA Command Post situated below the road up Castle Hill

A rock retaining wall is located in front of the Command Post. This wall leads to a smaller wall supporting a path that leads directly off the edge of the Castle Hill road in to the underground room or bunker. Some have suggested that the steel doors have been removed from the two entrances.
