Top Secret War Command Posts Ready for North Korea’s Provocations – Part 3

B1 Bunker – Actual War Command Post in the Event of a North Invasion

The B1 Bunker is where the Korean military would act as the actual war command post in the event of a North Korean invasion. It is located in Namtaeryeong, Gwanak Mountain, Seoul. As the actual war command post in case of an emergency, it is under the jurisdiction of the Capital Defense Command.

In the wartime command post, all data from the battlefield is gathered based on the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Joint Command and Control System (KJCCS) and the Tactical Command and Control Automation System (C4I), providing all the information to support the decision of the President as the military commander and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in case of an emergency. For example, the giant screens show live, such as the KNTDS (Korean Naval Tactical Data System), which can check the tracking system for North Korean ballistic missiles and the movement of the North Korean navy vessel near NLL in the West Sea in real-time.

Like CP Tango, in preparation for wartime, the B1 Bunker is known to be fully equipped with facilities and food to conduct a war for several months without the military command coming out. The Joint Chiefs of Staff is known to continuously expand this facility in preparation for the transition of wartime operational control.

Next is the B2 Bunker, located underground in the Joint Chiefs of Staff building within the Ministry of National Defense in Yongsan, Seoul. The B2 Bunker is known to be equipped with the US-Korea Joint Command and Control System (CENTRIXS-K) and video command system, which allows the US-Korea Joint Forces, the US Pacific Command, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to share military information and battlefield situations.

At the same time, it oversees each military operation through the Korean Joint Command and Control System (KJCCS), which connects with the Army, Navy, and Air Force headquarters and each military command. It is also possible to directly command operations from the Joint Chiefs of Staff by viewing high-definition images transmitted via military satellites. A real-time video command system can connect it to overseas dispatched forces. It is designed to withstand even an 8.38-magnitude earthquake. A defense system capable of withstanding North Korea’s electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack has also been established.

The last underground bunker used solely by the Korean military is the command post, Munseogo, also known as the B3 Bunker, located within Gyeryongdae, where the Army, Navy, and Air Force headquarters are located. There are also places like the Jaundae Satellite Operation Country in Daejeon. This place is a core military facility with EMP defense facilities. EMP bombs can neutralize radars, aircraft, air defense systems, etc., and are considered key weapons in future wars. This is adding defense functions according to the mid-to-long-term plan to build EMP additional defense facilities at 51 major military facilities, such as the Special Forces Command under the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by 2051.

Although it is not a military-related facility, there is an underground command post used exclusively by government officials of major ministries of the Republic of Korea, known as the B5 Bunker. It is known to be connected to the Gwacheon Government Complex and the Capital Defense Command. It is not in use as it has been moved to the Sejong Government Complex.
