During my time in the Commcen at JHQ our exercises involved leaping into our Mobile Commcen vehicles (Leyland Octopus trucks full of teleprinters, transmitters and other paraphernalia) and roaring through sleepy villages to our "Top Secret" location in the Eifel Mountains. It always seemed a bit strange that, in the middle of the forest, attached to a tree, were a couple of Deutche Bundespost telephone junction boxes so that we could conveniently connect to the phone system. I wonder how long it would take for the Russkies to figure out the location of that remote site.
