The name of the road northeast of the weird circular object is very fitting for this forum.

Shotgun Rd. - cute.

Look also at the long, straight edifice along the road running across the north of the site. I thought it was a fence at first, then I realized it ended without corners. Hmmmmmm.

cough - antenna - cough

It's quite possible that the vehicles in and around the facility are contractors that are dismantling the facility or other such thing.

One thing my brother found during his travels around the country during his base closure visits is that most of the larger military installations are considered Superfund sites loaded with toxic materials or other contaminants.

We have one right here in MA at Ft Devens.  Most of the base was decomissioned but a sizable hunk of it will be in government hands for some decades due to the amount of crap the Army buried there over the decades.  

Just a thought.

Not to mention the Ammo we dumped in the river because it was less hassle than turning it back in.
Actually MY Battery ALWAYS had volunteers to shoot up the extra, but I heard of other units doing that.

The joys of a decomisoned miltary base. Lead, depleted uranium rounds, dumped diesel fuel, sundry vehicle parts, and the list goes on. I have no problem with the troops doing all these things as they have more important jobs than being green in the PC sense of the term. Still, I wouldn't want to be in charge of cleaning up the mess.

Sorry guys but I'm going to have to rain on your parade.
First off, yes it WAS a cryppy DF post but has been shut down for a while.  It is NOT being dismantled though.
The facility has been turned into classrooms for the Center for  Anti-Terrorism/Naval Security Forces CENATNSF .
They teach VBSS (Vessel Baording Search and Siezure) to non-SEALs, Anti-Terrorism Officer/Training Supervisor, and Crew Served Weapons.  I went there a couple years ago for the ATO course.  It was pretty funny to park in VA and go into NC for class, the border is literally at the fenceline.  Most of the instructors, at the time, were Active/retired Navy and Blackwater guys.
