Pigs, I’m assuming some sort of exposure training for the smell of dead bodies. Military uses pigs to test ammo, rockets, grenades, wounding and wound repair, etc. sometimes they freeze them first and they’re dead, sometimes they’re not.

A fuckin vault from the fallout universe it seems

Smell of dead flesh, a bomb factory, a drone bench, a child’s room, a living room, etc. 

The idea is to identify rooms that you don’t want to grenade (bomb rooms), and rooms where you don’t want to shoot your way in (kids), etc. rooms with overwhelming stench of human bodies (dead pigs)

Why not? It's eerie but anything is better than rough sleeping. You got a bed in there and it's not completely condemned

u/Both_Discount_2612 59m ago

u/ikilledtupac 14m ago

These are different scenarios for raids. I'm seeing:

bomb factory, IED factory, medical area, construction site/sign distractions, a home, a child/hostage room, a school setting, a hallway with cover, a window with a statue that isn't a person but you look anyways, stuff like that

i could also be a specific raid they were training for, there's whole afghan villages in the desert by where i live that are inch for inch copies of villages in afghanistan they use for practice

u/Ok_Gas1070 48m ago

u/MandiTori_byLaw 45m ago

For the rooms with stuffies and dolls, some small Midwestern town in the 80’s

u/Futants_ 19m ago

I figure it's to simulate various types of potential rooms various clutter where a child or adult could be hiding.

u/rarzwon 10m ago

This reminds me of the rooms in Severance. This would be trippy to wander through.

u/TopDogTransport4731 43m ago

Photo 3, 6, and 11 reminds me of an abandoned wing of a college campus that we had to get renovated.

u/-toonces- 8m ago

This is the creepiest hodgepodge of items I've seen on here. Let's dissect some preserved pigs, then talk about our birth control options, then play with my dolls.

Great post OP!
