This underground complex contains facilities for Air Warning
(providing aerospace warning and control for North America), Missile
Warning Center (for attacks against the United States or U.S. forces
overseas), and Space Control Center (to detect, track, identify and
catalog all man-made objects orbiting the earth).
During the Cold War, many Federal Relocation Centers were built for
the purpose of the “Continuity of Government,” to maintain essential
government services and emergency functions during any event which
affects national security. It had been reported that there was a system
of 96 facilities established around Washington, D.C., in what is called
the Federal Arc, which are earmarked for critical governmental
personnel from specific agencies, and are located in North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. After 9-11 it was

are 19 emergency operating facilities for sheltering federal government
officials within 300 miles of Washington. The administrative nerve
center for the whole system is Mount Weather.

nearby called Mount Weather.
Mount Weather (Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict
Operations) is an 561 acre installation located about 48 miles (by air,
and 54 via the roads) west of Washington, and 1,725 feet above sea
level, near the town of Bluemont (5 miles northeast), Virginia. As you
drive on route 7, west of Leesburg, you’ll turn left on Route 601 just
west of Bluemont, and that will lead you right to the gates (actual
address is 19844 Blue Ridge Mountain Road). In case of an all-
encompassing national emergency, a hand-picked list of civilian and
military leaders will be taken to this huge underground shelter in order
to form the nucleus of a postwar government. It is run under the
auspices of FEMA who refer to it as the “special facility,” but it is
