Detention camp

Detention camps are support structures available to the United States in Generals. It is absent from Zero Hour, where its function was merged into the strategy center.

Background

They are constructed on the battlefield by the USA in order to hold military prisoners and gain valuable battlefield intelligence.

Game building

From the Detention Camp a commander can access the 'Intelligence' power. Using knowledge gained from inmates and the applied use of satellites, Intelligence enabled US generals to view all enemy units and positions across the battlefield.

Abilities

Intelligence Allows a commander to temporarily reveal the locations of all enemy units on the battlefield. In the expansion Zero Hour, this ability is activated from the Strategy Center.

Trivia

• Originally other factions were also supposed to have their own detention camp equivalents (such as GLA's Prison) as well as POW transports, but they're all eventually cut.
