Military reveals underground fortress built to protect U.S. leaders
America’s hidden stronghold
If a nuclear strike were ever launched against the United States, President Donald Trump would reportedly be rushed to a secret underground bunker beneath Colorado’s mountains, according to UNILAD.
The facility, known as the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, has been described as one of the most secure places on Earth.
Built for the Cold War
Completed in 1967, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex was designed during the height of the Cold War to withstand the unimaginable — including a direct nuclear strike.
Buried under 2,400 feet of solid granite, it serves as the alternate command center for NORAD and several other defense agencies.
Deep beneath Colorado Springs
The complex sits about 10 miles from Colorado Springs and nearly a mile inside the mountain.
Behind its thick, blast-proof steel doors lies a network of 15 buildings spread over 5.1 acres — all built on massive springs that can absorb the shock of a nuclear explosion.
More than a military base
Far from a cold bunker, the complex is fully equipped for long-term survival.
It has its own power plant, systems for heating and cooling, underground lakes for water, and even a Subway restaurant — dubbed the most secure Subway in the world. Food supplies are stockpiled to sustain personnel for months.
Designed to survive the unthinkable
The facility can reportedly withstand a nuclear blast of several megatons from just 1.5 miles away.
It’s also engineered to protect against chemical, biological, and radiological attacks, as well as electromagnetic pulses that could cripple other command centers.
Trump’s emergency escape plan
Acording to UNILAD, Trump would first be taken to the presidential bunker beneath the White House in the event of a major threat.
From there, he would be flown aboard an Air Force Doomsday jet to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, where operations could continue even if Washington were destroyed.
Life inside the mountain
According to NORAD Colonel Cory Kwasny, the complex feels like stepping back in time.
In an interview with Newsnation, he said: “You might walk in and think you’re still back in the 1950s or ’60s,” noting that while its design is retro, its communications and security systems have been fully modernized and remain in daily use.
America’s last line of defense
General Gregory Guillot, who oversees NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, is responsible for safeguarding the country from threats ranging from nuclear missiles to spy balloons.
Asked about the possibility of a world war he said calmly said to NewsNation: “I don’t worry. We’ve got the greatest military members working it — and we are ready.”
