===Bunker 11507===
In June 2013, an investigation into above-ground dirt-covered bunkers located on the military reservation was opened. These former nuclear weapons bunkers were used by the Air Force during the Cold War, when Biggs Air Force Base was a SAC base. Low level radiation was detected in Bunker 11507. The bunker interiors were previously painted with epoxy paint to contain the radiation, and the paint has now chipped. The radiation contamination is confined to the area around the bunker. The area was closed in July 2013.<ref>[https://www.army.mil/article/107468/Low_level_radiological_contamination_found_inside_Fort_Bliss_bunker/ "Low level radiological contamination found inside Fort Bliss bunker"] accessdate=17 July 2013</ref>
