'''Command Post Tango''' (CP TANGO) is a [[United States Forces Korea]]'s military [[bunker]] complex in [[South Korea]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Graff|first1=Garrett|title=Raven Rock|date=May 2, 2017|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=7502}}</ref> It is the Theater Command Post for the Combatant Commander, UNC/CFC/USFK and State Department Korea and can reportedly withstand a [[tactical nuclear weapon]] through the use of several layers of blast doors. It is located in [[Seongnam]], [[Gyeonggi province]].

== Info ==
[[Condoleezza Rice]] visited the bunker in her March 2005 trip to six Asian nations as well as the President of South Korea [[Lee Myung-Bak]].<ref>[http://usinfo.org/wf-archive/2005/050321/epf110.htm "Remarks to Troops at Command Post Tango Command Post Tango Operations Center"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927112459/http://usinfo.org/wf-archive/2005/050321/epf110.htm |date=2011-09-27 }}, Condoleezza Rice, 2005</ref> Lee Myung-Bak also visited the bunker in August 2008.

Numerous outer resources of this facility include a water treatment operations center, living quarters, several helicopter landing zones, container storage area, equipment, and facility supply storage area, operations location for the fire department, Emergency Response Center, and other structures, including buildings for external armed security personnel, Directorate of Public Works personnel, Korean Service Corps personnel, Installation Facility Management, communications personnel, and a live fire range with range personnel.

TANGO stands for ''Theater Air Naval Ground Operations Center''. The Command Post was built right after the [[Korean War]] and is one of several Command Posts scattered across the globe in Europe, America, Hawaii, and the far east. The bunker is set to be given to the ROK Army as American forces pull back to [[Camp Humphreys]].
