The ROC post is now open with the hatch being ripped with someone probably forcing entry. There is flaking green paint on the exterior and hatch. The bunker has been dug out and the monitoring room is visible. On the exterior the post is in good condition but has suffered some damage which includes: a part of the ventilation shaft missing with the metal dome on the shaft missing, the BPI (Bomb Power Indicator) mount gone, the FSM (Fixed Survey Meter) cap gone, the concrete around the hatch destroyed, and wires and electrictronics sticking out the visible wall.
On the inside of the post the original ladder is now removed and there is a new one put in place but nothing much remains. Artefacts are limited to the original wood for the wiring, a chemical toilet in broken pieces, and the pillows for the beds and the sheets. The doors are still intact, but the original sump pump is ripped off and only the pipe from it remains.
