Fallout 3 Enclave outposts and camps Once the Enclave have made their first appearance during The Waters of Life quest , checkpoints , camps , and outposts will have been established at various locations throughout the Capital Wasteland . These outposts are typically manned by an Enclave officer , accompanied by several Enclave soldiers and other forces ranging from sentry bot s , defensive turrets , and mind controlled deathclaw s . Approximately 30 known outposts are found scattered throughout the Capital Wasteland , and they are commonly found on the remnants of the pre - War road system , giving them the appearance of a checkpoint patrol network . Most of the sites are used by the Enclave for conducting research , or for testing new forms of technology they have developed . Such sites can be identified by locating an Enclave Field Research terminal , which can be accessed to determine the nature of the research being carried out . Some of the sites are used for exterminating ghoul wastelanders , with an Enclave soldier using a flamer or heavy incinerator to carry out the task of disposing of the corpses . An outpost near Old Olney is the site where the player can carry out an optional objective of the add - on " Broken Steel " ' s Shock Value quest ; to take control of an Enclave - controlled deathclaw .
