Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: The Pentagon refers to the five-sided building and the organizational headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, not a generic geometric structure. Often used metonymously to describe DoD leadership and policy decisions.

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, located in Arlington County, Virginia. Constructed between 1941–1943, it was built to consolidate 17 scattered War Department offices across Washington. The building houses the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and representatives from all military service branches, employing approximately 23,000 military and civilian personnel daily. The Pentagon serves as the central command facility for American military operations and is heavily involved in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) investigation through the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established in 2022 to investigate UAP incidents across air, sea, space, and land domains.
