bunker
Let an agent handle bunkers as structures by type, history, heritage and safety of visiting, without operational or military-technical detail.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Let an agent handle bunkers as structures by type, history, heritage and safety of visiting, without operational or military-technical detail.
A reinforced, often underground or earth-covered structure built to protect people, equipment or stores from attack, including military fortifications, munitions stores, submarine pens and civil defence shelters; many are now disused or heritage sites.
