DEW line? Mountaintops in far away places? Underground bunkers? Keyword: Ice breakers? AGB-5 for example.

many years ago there was a Camp Called Camp Grieves just between JFC and the bridge. I see the bridge hasn't changed.

Hello Douglas, it closed down about 10 years ago along with Garry Owen/Pelham. They were the last 2 Camps owned by the US Army. Only American Troops left in the old Western Corridor are those at JSA-Panmunjom.

I remember getting a few up close and personal looks at that bridge, ugly damn thing that it is.

SPC Charles Brown - I remember crossing a bridge in southern Iraq. Big warning sign saying "maximum weight limit 25,000 pounds" while riding in a 14-18 ton (ie 28,000-36,000 pound) MRAP. talk about pucker city.

Although stateside, I spent 2 tours at FHL. Ft. Hunter Liggett had a moniker: 30 miles from water. 2 feet from hell.
The most remote I've seen is Ft. Irwin. I delivered tank engines down there from Ft. Ord. After driving all day, the billboard said "Welcome to Ft. Irwin." The garrison was 35 miles after that sign. And at 35mph max speed limit, that is one God-forsaken place.

2 rotations in the 80s and was station there 90-91, with a TDY trip to the big desert! Duty was good, but hated the desert!
