The original Devils Tower facility was largely restricted to caverns directly beneath the monument, with two hidden entrances - one in a barn in the nearby town and another in a valley a kilometer to the north.  When the Terran Hegemony reopened it they expanded the complex and added a twelve-kilometer tunnel leading to the nearby community of [[w:Hulett, Wyoming|Hulett]], along with three additional sally ports, two in the shadow of the mountain and a third several kilometers to the east.<ref name=JHST202/><ref name=JHST203>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 203</ref>

The Word of Blake would make a number of alterations to the original design.  Atop the Devils Tower is a [[Command and Control Bunker|command and control bunker]], next to which is an [[Anti-Aerospace Bunker|anti-aerospace bunker]] and a ring of heavy anti-aircraft batteries.  Eight [[Reinforced Weapons Bunker|reinforced weapons bunkers]] are placed roughly a kilometer out from the Tower, half placed at the twelve, three, six and nine o'clock positions and the other half spaced evenly between these.  [[Castle Brian Gun Emplacement|Gun emplacements]] are situated every 250 meters along the road surrounding the Tower's hill, on alternating sides of the road, while four gun emplacements are placed within 250 meters of each reinforced weapons bunker directly off its corners.  A string of [[Command-Detonated Mine|command-detonated minefields]] also ring the perimeter road. Four [[Large Portal (Mobile Structure)|large portals]] allow access to the underground portion of the complex: the two sally ports, one in the location of the former visitor center just west of the Tower and facing north and the other east of the Tower where the road from the town turns south, large enough to handle the Tower's four [[Rattler]] mobile structures (the road itself was also reinforced to accommodate the Rattlers), a third one half as tall as the sally ports located just north of the Tower (right off the edge of the above map) and the last one five kilometers to the west in a nearby valley.  Each portal is protected by two gun emplacements placed 250 meters in front of them.  All of the gun emplacements are also protected by four [[Castle Brian Automated Anti-Personnel Turret|automated AP turrets]] placed within 90 meters of their location.<ref name=JHST203/>

When the Word of Blake took over they also turned the nearby town of Devils Tower into a fortified base.  The town is ringed completely by [[Fortified Brian Wall|fortified walls]], with two automated AP turrets placed every 150 meters of wall length and 60 meters from either side of the wall.  Just east of the town are four [[Castle Brian Aerospace Hangar|aerospace hangars]], two dedicated to aerodyne [[DropShip]]s and two to [[aerospace fighter]]s, with the north-south runway servicing aerodynes and the NW/SE runway for fightercraft, also next to the hangars.  Four gun emplacements are located within 250 meters of each hangar directly off the corners and two are located at the ends of each runway, with four automated AP turrets within 90 meters of each emplacement.  Two anti-aircraft bunkers are also located on the north and south sides of the airfield.<ref name=JHST203/>
