A military complex built into the mountainside, once filled with advanced communication technology and radar systems. Fortifications and underground bunkers were meant to protect crucial military infrastructure, but today remain only as testimony to former military might.
In-game journal

Military Area is a former army base cut into a mountain slope, where radar and long-range communications equipment was once kept behind defensive works and underground shelters. Those defences now stand abandoned, and the in-game map marks the site as a scavenging area.

Military crates are the main draw, with 26 of them nearby, alongside 7 frozen bodies, 7 Medical Supply Boxes, lockers, trash containers and 3 ammo boxes. Loose finds include Bag of MRE, Panacea, .45ACP Ammo and 9x19mm ammo, and there are 3 Moonrock Boulders close by. Recipe notes here teach .45ACP Ammo, 5.56x45mm Ammo and the Permafrost Boots, Cloak, Gloves, Jacket and Pants. Recordings to pick up include Victor Kain's Dual Speech, The Awakening, Final Hours Before Sleep, Scientists' Log: The Forgotten Ones and the Hopes And Dreams series.

Fast Travel: Horizon is about 220 m away in a straight line, and the Horizon safe zone sits about 240 m off. Bone Cave lies about 60 m away and Bunker Checkpoint about 110 m, so both fit easily into the same trip.
