Teutates - also spelled Toutates (Celtic: “God of the People”) important Celtic deity, one of three mentioned by the Roman poet Lucan in the 1st century AD, the other two being Esus (“Lord”) and Taranis (“Thunderer”). According to later commentators, victims sacrificed to Teutates were killed by being plunged headfirst into a vat filled with an unspecified liquid, which may have been ale, a favourite drink of the Celts.

More like "disinformation". At least you got the pool right.
The place is made of several concentric circles of defense - anti-tank ditch, mines, wires and even punji stakes and broken glass. All around you have mutually supporting bunkers with anything you'd find in a Vietnam War type firebase. In fact, it was modelled that way.

That's really interesting. Thank you.

I placed letters. (the attached pic has been removed)
Do you have more pics?

I don't think so !! This is not a "Camp" from 30 years ago in RVN that has no current tactical significance !!
Remember, we are not setting around my Dining Room Table, this is the FOOKING INTERNET !!!

Would you like me to also give you the pace count from one fighting position to the other as well as to the commo bunker? Like I said, it's designed after a Vietnam War era base camp. Read about those and you'll know. Also, don't post your analysis of the area. The reasons are obvious.

Can we get the firebase pics off here? They're interesting to look at but, as it has been stated, is a major OPSEC problem. I'm sure some of our adversaries would love to see them too.

I was waiting that one.
Basenshukai:
Just give me the pool length.
NDD and Basenshukai:
I will not bother that forum with sensitive questions anymore. That`s serious business. Technical education and curiousity are not good reasons. I just removed the picture with letters and interior lines.
I sincerely apologize.

Sorry folks but that last looks like the kind of picture I would see in an S-2/3 shop to be used in pre-mission planning. I'm retired and don't need that $$$$.
If I can find it, and y'all are interested I have a good areial photo of an old French type five sided fort somewhere between Kontum and Dak To.

Desert,
Here's a secret Fort you can assess. They even speak Spanish there if you ask nicely.
