The author talks about the importance of tunnel warfare.
About halfway between Dallas and Austin is Ft. Hood, the Army’s largest base. After WWII, so only a few years after it had been set up in the first place, the Army dynamited a series of caves in the very sparse western section of the base to carve out a massive underground structure for nuclear weapons.
The Army doesn’t use / maintain nuclear weapons anymore, but the bunker has been repurposed into a basically one-of-a-kind underground training environment. Units from all over the world train there. Pretty cool stuff.
