Join FAS Boonsboro, MD Continuity of Government plans provide the capability to maintain essential government services and emergency functions in the most serious of events affecting national security. This facility, clearly visible above the trees from several major highways, is located on a mountain called Lambs Knoll. The facility is fenced, with an unmanned electric gate. No signage whatsoever. There are no other above ground structures visible within the grounds.
People do work there, and typically wear blue, unmarked jumpsuits or coveralls.
It is clear that there had been considerable earthmoving at the time of construction. The base of the silo rested on a dead flat rectilinear area about a few hundred feet square. Outside of the perimeter fence, and a few hundred yards down the slope of the hill is another interesting artifact. It is covered by a low wooden rooflike structure set directly upon the concrete. The whole assembly is only about 12 inches high.
