The Pentagon Epi 01

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, located in Arlington County, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. It was built in 1941 and opened in 1943, and it is one of the largest office buildings in the world.

The building has five sides, five floors above ground, and two basement levels. It covers 29 acres and has over 17 miles of corridors. It is home to the offices of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other military leaders and staff.

The Pentagon has been the target of two major terrorist attacks. In 1967, a small bomb exploded outside the building, causing minor damage. In 2001, terrorists hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 and flew it into the building, killing 189 people and causing extensive damage.

Today, the Pentagon remains a symbol of the U.S. military and its global reach, and it continues to be a vital center for military strategy, planning, and operations.
