- The Communications Center at Gamma Base was the central hub of the entire facility. It was here that the military could coordinate efforts between the United States Air Force and the United States Army as well as their various liaisons with S.H.I.E.L.D. and other organizations. The Communications Center has seen a lot of action over the years and has been taken over by the likes of the Leader, as well as suffering numerous rampages from the Hulk.
