Editing Mont Tanoa (section)

== Facilities ==
=== Surface complex ===
The surface complex at Mont Tanoa included administrative buildings, guard posts, barracks, storage depots, access roads, and industrial structures connected to the mining system. Ventilation chimneys linked parts of the surface sector with the underground tunnels. Checkpoints controlled movement between the lower slopes, crater rim, and restricted summit areas.

The [[Bau-Einsatz]] constructed and maintained much of the physical infrastructure. Its role included tunnel reinforcement, heavy equipment deployment, transport preparation, and construction of camp-related structures. Security and internal discipline were controlled by the [[Vulkane Einsatzgruppen]].

=== Vulkane Einsatzgruppen headquarters ===
The command site known as the ''Vulkane Einsatzgruppen HQ'' was located at Mont Tanoa. It served as the administrative and operational center for the unit’s activity across the volcanic complex. Officers stationed there coordinated perimeter security, guard assignments, prisoner movement, mining enforcement, and communication with Bau-Einsatz technical staff.

The headquarters also controlled access to underground sectors. Certain deeper chambers were used for weapons testing, demolition trials, storage, and protected operations. Large-scale vehicle development and equipment testing were generally associated with wider Bau-Einsatz facilities, while Mont Tanoa was used for work connected to volcanic excavation, underground security, and fortified installations.

=== Underground installations ===
The interior of Mont Tanoa contained a network of tunnels, shafts, reinforced rooms, ore corridors, storage chambers, and restricted-access areas. Some spaces were adapted from natural volcanic cavities, while others were excavated for mining and military use. The tunnel system extended into the volcanic core and connected work areas with surface structures through guarded shafts and lifts.

Underground sectors were used for gold and emerald extraction, ore transport, equipment storage, prisoner labor assignments, and protected command functions. Movement inside the system was regulated through checkpoints and assigned routes. Ventilation systems were built to support deeper work areas, although conditions for prisoners remained hazardous due to heat, dust, confined passages, and limited air circulation.
