The Zutendaal Air Base command bunker is located at the historic Zutendaal Air Base in Belgium, originally constructed by the German Army Air Corps in March 1917 as "Flieger Schießschule" for training artillery observers. The base has served various military purposes throughout its history, transitioning from German to Allied control after World War I. The command bunker forms part of the base's Cold War-era infrastructure, designed to provide secure command and control facilities during heightened tensions.
The bunker is situated in Limburg province, approximately 4 miles southeast of Genk, in the eastern part of Belgium near the Dutch border. As a reserve facility of the Belgian Air Component, Zutendaal Air Base continues to serve as a strategic military installation, with the command bunker representing the military heritage of the site and its evolution from World War I origins through the Cold War period.
