Classic layout of semi-buried military drive-up storage huts for heavy and/or "special" ordinance. Earth-covered, bevel-topped design provides some protection against aerial bombs and from overhead observation. Widely dispersed in case of explosives mishaps ---distance prevents secondary explosions of previously uninvolved areas. Blast-wall berms at entrance ends.
