'''Mont Tanoa''' is the only volcano on the island of [[Tanoa]]. It is a large volcanic massif that dominates the island’s central highlands. The most recent confirmed eruption occurred in 1966. The mountain has extensive lava rock fields, steep forested slopes, and a crater zone with underground cavities that were later expanded into fortified facilities.

== Geography and geology ==
Mont Tanoa rises from the central interior of Tanoa. The lower slopes are covered by dense tropical rainforest, while higher elevations are frequently affected by cloud cover and fog. The summit area includes an older crater system and cooled lava formations. Geothermal heat and gas vents have been reported in parts of the crater zone, and the mountain remains monitored due to its eruptive history, including the 1966 event.

== History ==
=== Resource surveys and gold extraction ===
During the 1990s, the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] intensified geological surveys in the central highlands. Internal extraction programs concluded that significant gold deposits were concentrated inside the volcanic structure of Mont Tanoa. Mining operations expanded from surface prospecting to underground excavation in the crater zone and deeper rock layers.

=== Establishment of the Vulkane Einsatzgruppen ===
{{main|Vulkane Einsatzgruppen}}
In 1991, [[Eef Paap]] founded the Vulkane Einsatzgruppen to control volcanic zones, secure underground facilities, and manage mining operations connected to Mont Tanoa. The unit operated as a specialized formation within the broader Bau-Einsatz structure and coordinated security, construction, and forced-labor logistics around the mountain.

== Facilities ==
=== Vulkane Einsatzgruppen headquarters ===
The command site known as the ''Vulkane Einsatzgruppen HQ'' was located near the upper slopes and summit area of Mont Tanoa. The headquarters served as the administrative and operational center for Vulkane Gruppen activity on the mountain. Vehicle development and large-scale equipment testing were generally conducted at the main Bau-Einsatz headquarters, while weapons testing and demolition trials were reported in deeper volcanic chambers.

=== Underground installations and camp system ===
{{main|Mont Tanoa concentration camp}}
The interior of Mont Tanoa contained a network of tunnels, shafts, and reinforced underground rooms. Parts of this underground complex were used as detention and labor facilities connected to mining and construction work. These sites formed one of the regime’s central forced-labor locations for volcanic extraction work, alongside other camp and industrial sites across Tanoa.

== Role in the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen period ==
Under the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen, Mont Tanoa functioned as a controlled military-geological zone. Access was restricted, with movement regulated through checkpoints, patrol routes, and permit systems. Mining activity and construction work were integrated into the regime’s broader command economy and security structure, and the mountain’s underground spaces were used for storage, confinement, and protected operations.

== Post Tanoa Einsatzgruppen collapse status ==
After the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen, Mont Tanoa remained a restricted location due to hazardous infrastructure, unstable tunnel sections, and the risk posed by unexploded ordnance and abandoned equipment. Surveys and documentation efforts have focused on mapping underground voids, identifying former detention areas, and assessing environmental impacts from decades of extraction activity.
