My spouse is a tunnel rat! He's retired though. It's really amazing that he lived though it.

It sounds like anything but fun. I can't imagine being underground with explosions and gunfire. I'd be bleeding from my ears.

I think a good number of these trained forces are active in Europe right now (RAEF Operation). Others are working here in the US.

And if it is what I think it is, it is very special! He will have many incredible stories. Praying for their safety and operational success!

"An assessment last year estimates that there are about 10,000 large-scale underground military facilities around the world that are intended to serve as subterranean cities, an Army source, who is not cleared to talk to the press, told Military.com."
Confirmation of DUMPS?

That reminds me of that crazy movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he went to the moon and found underground building of a machine to create oxygen? Duh . . . . .

Who the hell is living down in these rat holes anyway? Why not just pump huge amounts of cyanid or other lethal gas down the holes and put the bastards to death and get it over with.

The Ukrainians had a huge underground complex at the Donetsk airport. The Donetsk coal miners used shoulder fired thermobaric missiles to clear the tunnels or they collapsed them from above
In Syria, this winter, the government just outflanked the al-Qaeda tunnel fortifications.
