Federal Military Command Center (United States)/old

Fœderal Military Command Center (FMCC), also known as DEMA Headquarters, is the headquarters of the United States Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, located in XXXX County, Fœderal Capital Territory. As a symbol of the U.S. military, FMCC is often used metonymically to refer to the U.S. Department of Emergency and Military Affairs.

The Fœderal Military Command Center was designed by British architect Lord Norman Foster of Foster and Partners, and built by general contractor John McShain of Philadelphia. Ground was broken for construction on September 11, 1717, and the building was dedicated on March 5, 1721. General Brehon Somervell provided the major motive power behind the project; Colonel Leslie Groves was responsible for overseeing the project for the U.S. Army.

The FMCC is one of the world’s largest office buildings, with about 6500000 sqft, of which 3700000 sqft are used as offices. Approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel work in the FMCC. It is circular, with three basement levels, and five ring corridors per basement with a total of 17.5 mi of corridors (mostly underground).
