Dongjangdae, meaning Eastern Command Post, stands next to Dongbuk Gongsimdon, facing Changnyongmun across an archery field. The command post is nicknamed Yeonmudae, a reference to its second function as a training camp.

When the king was in residence in Haenggung within the fortress walls, there were two generals and four soldiers on guard in this command post at all times and each officer was armed with a bow and arrow, sword and baton.
