Camp Lehigh

Camp Lehigh was a military base used by the Strategic Scientific Reserve during World War II. After the war, it became one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s bases.

History
Camp Lehigh was used by the Strategic Scientific Reserve to give military training from Sergeant Michael Duffy to the candidates sent by Abraham Erskine and Chester Phillips for Project Rebirth. Peggy Carter was brought in as an additional superior officer. Among the candidates were Gilmore Hodge and Steve Rogers.

In order to prove his point that Rogers did not belong there due to his sickly and frail appearance, Phillips threw a fake grenade among the candidates during a training exercise. Rogers used his body as a shield to protect everyone from the possible explosion, causing Phillips to acquiesce to Erskine's decision for Rogers' inclusion.

After the war, the site was used as a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. In 1972, an enormous facility comprising of over 200,000 computer databanks was constructed to house the consciousness of Dr. Arnim Zola after the scientist's death.

Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff came here and conversed with Zola, learning HYDRA's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. Zola revealed the information as a stalling tactic while S.H.I.E.L.D. launched a missile at Camp Lehigh to kill the two, resulting them being buried alive and destroying the grounds.
