Facilities

Cheyenne Mountain Complex	Stargate Command (SGC) Base - Stargate Command is housed in the underground complex inside Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA.
Antarctica	Antarctica - A second Stargate was found in Antarctica and a research facility was placed there. Not long afterwards, an Ancient Outpost was discovered there.
Off-World Bases	Off-World Bases - The SGC has built bases in the Milky Way Galaxy under the names Alpha Site, Beta Site, and Gamma Site.
Atlantis	Atlantis - The SGC provides support to the Atlantis Expedition in the Pegasus Galaxy.

Personnel

SGC Commanders	SGC Commanders - The SGC was first run by U.S. Air Force Gen. West (Stargate - The Movie), then by U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. George Hammond (Seasons One through Seven) (his command being shortly interrupted by U.S. Air Force Gen. Bauer [4.15 "Chain Reaction"]), and then briefly by the civilian appointee Dr. Elizabeth Weir (7.21 "Lost City Part 1" through 8.02 "New Order Part 2"). U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jack O'Neill had command after that for one year (8.02 "New Order Part 2"), and currently the commander is Maj. Gen. Hank Landry (9.01 "Avalon Part 1").
SG Teams	SG Teams - SG teams are usually composed of four members, but some units have been known to have more or less. Each team is designated as SG-x, where x is the unit number. Some SG teams are designed for specific functions, such as first contact, military backup, engineering, archaeological expeditions, or diplomacy. Currently, there are at least 25 teams.
SGC Medical Staff	SGC Medical Staff - From headaches to major surgery, the SGC Medical Staff is employed to serve the personnel who work at the SGC. They handle everything from inoculations and pre- and post- mission medical checkups, to being on hand for base and off-world medical emergencies.
Stargate Technicians	Stargate Technicians - There are several people who work behind the scenes to make the SGC run smoothly. Extremely important personnel are those who man the controls of the dialing computer and iris of the Stargate.
SGC Security Personnel	SGC Security Personnel - Stargate Command (SGC) has many people working at the base who never go through the Stargate, but are very important in ensuring the safety of the base.
SGC Department of Research and Development	SGC Department of Research and Development - Several scientists in diverse fields of study are employed at Stargate Command to support the various missions through the Stargate. From archeaology to zoology, there is probably a scientist on the base who can assist in the Stargate Program's mandate of establishing alien alliances and procuring advanced technology in the defense of Earth.

Homeworld Security

Homeworld Security	Homeworld Security - Homeworld Security is a new office run by the United States Air Force to oversee Earth's defenses against alien incursion. This also includes overseeing the building of the F-302 space-worthy intercept fighters and the Daedalus-Class spaceships.
F-302 Intercept Fighters	F-302 Program - Pilots of the F-302s must be cleared for the Stargate Program because they are flying inceptors which are built with both Terran and alien technology and are asked to fight agsint alien incursions.
Deep Space Carriers	Daedalus-Class Ship - These spacecraft are built on Earth using both Terran and alien technology. The fleet of Daedalus-Class ships are called upon to defend and support the various bases throughout the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies.

Related Organizations

Pentagon	Pentagon - The Pentagon is the headquarters building for the U.S. Department of Defense and it is the base of operations for Homeworld Security. The Defense Secretary and the Joint Chiefs work in the Pentagon as well and answer to the President of the United States.
International Oversight Advisory (IOA)	International Oversight Advisory (IOA) - This international group consists of representatives from the countries of Earth which have learned of the Stargate Program. Based on the foundations of the Gate Alliance Treaty (first put into place among the countries of the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and China when the Program was first disclosed by Gen. Hammond and Maj. Paul Davis), the organization funds and oversees the activities of Stargate Command (SGC).
Senate Appropriations Committee	Senate Appropriations Committee - This governmental body controls the budget of the Stargate Program, listed as item Area 52 on their roster.
NID	NID - Also housed at the Pentagon is the NID, a civilian-run organization which oversees some of the Research and Development of the knowledge and technology brought through the Stargate. Oftentimes, the NID and the SGC have conflicts as to jurisdiction and it is necessary to call upon the President to give the final order.

Facilities Servicing Stargate Command

These facilities are linked to, but are not part of, Stargate Command:

Area 51	Area 51 - While the SGC's mandate is to be more of a front-line defense of Earth, the NID's mandate includes the exploitation of the knowledge and technology brought through the Stargate. Usually, members of the SGC's Research and Development teams get first access to the alien technology, but most of the time, the objects are sent to the NID's Area 51 for further research.
Air Force Academy	Air Force Academy - This facility is the proving ground for Air Force cadets who are selected to join Stargate Command.
Air Force Academy Hospital	Air Force Academy Hospital - This hospital has the security clearances needed to treat alien refugees and SGC personnel who need long-term care due to exposure to alien lifeforms or technology. They also have alien technology at their disposal to treat these patients.
Peterson Air Force Base	Peterson Air Force Base - This site not only provides transport for SGC personnel traveling around the world, but also services experimental and production intercept fighters, such as the X-301 and the F-302.

-==SGC Base Levels 1-4==
+== Stargate References ==
-These levels comprise the bulk of the administration areas for both the SGC [Stargate Command] and NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command], including personnel, payroll and accounting.  All requisitions and authorisation orders are processed through the administration areas.  These levels also contain a waiting room where SGC visitors stay until they receive authorisation to enter the rest of the facility and their escort arrives.
+===Stargate Program===
+{|
-The administrations areas include all records and the SGC's secondary computer system, containing date non-critical to the base's operations.  In the event of a systems failure, the base can transfer control between the primary and secondary systems to operate the structure's facilities.

-Level 1 hosts only a small staff presence and access point.  It mostly contains the air flow system that pulls air from the surface and shunts it down into the facility through the purification system.  Air ducts lead down to Level 10, where a secondary air flow system channels air down to the lower levels of the SGC.  In the event of a failure, either system can provide limited air flow for the entire facility until repairs can be initiated.  Armed guards cover all access points to the elevators or stairwells on Level 1 at all times.
+|}
+===Facilities===
-Levels 3 and 4 house the SGC's accounting and records departments.  Out of date records are transferred to the archives on Level 24.  There is also a small mess area.  [The main mess hall is located on Level 22.]

+|valign="top"|[[Stargate Command (SGC) Base]] - Stargate Command is housed in the underground complex inside Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA.
-Levels 5,6 and 7 consist entirely of massive storage areas designed to hold equipment and supplies as required.  Level 7 contains a number of specialised and non-perishable foodstuffs for use during base lockdowns.  When properly outfitted and rationed, these levels can store enough food supplies to last the entire base complement for a period of three months.
+|-
+|valign="top"|[[Image:antarctic-outpost-01.jpg|thumb|170px|left|[[Antarctica]]]]
-These levels can also serve as staging areas for refugees brought through the Stargate, who be housed temporarily within the SGC until they can be relocated to another world.  Transforming the storage areas into simple group accommodations will enable the base to hold up to one hudnred and twenty people on each level.
+|valign="top"|[[Antarctica]] - A second Stargate was found in Antarctica and a research facility was placed there. Not long afterwards, an Ancient Outpost was discovered there.
+|-
-Levels 8 and 9 contain the SGC's internal power generation plant, the distribution grid for the base's entire electrical system.  Power is generated through a small internal reactor during an emergency but most of the time power is pulled from the surface and surrounding hydro-electric resources.  Even when forced to rely on emergency power, the SGC may operate indefinitely.

-==SGC Base Level 11==
+These facilities are linked to, but are not part of, Stargate Command:
-The split on Level 11 allows the segmentation of the SGC into two entities, but for all intents and purposes, they are referred to as one.  The primary elevator shaft runs from Levels 1 to 11, where base personnel and visitors must switch to an alternate elevator system past a security checkpoint.  This provides an additional level of security to block access to the base's most sensitive areas.
+{|
+|valign="top"|[[Image:area51-01.jpg|thumb|170px|left|[[Area 51]]]]
-Level 11 also contains the water purification and storage tanks, which share space on level 10.  These units can provide several months' worth of drinking water when needed.  A power substation on Level 11 provided services to the upper Levels 1 through 10.

-Level 16 includes the secondary command bunker and security station as well as a monitoring station that can keep tabs on the entire facility and operate the SGC in the event of an emergency.  Located in the heart of the SGC, the secondary command bunker includes a small control room with video cameras and communications equipment linked to all essential SGC functions.  This command bunker can also communicate with the outside world in the event of a major catastrophe blocking standard communication channels.
-The SGC's main stockade is also located on Level 16, equipped with a number of small holding cells.  These vary from a utilitarian room equipped with a bed, toilet and washing facilities, work station and monitoring camera to isolation cells with no appreciable amenities.  Anyone considered a threat to base security is remanded to the stockade until they can be transferred to a more secure location.  All security stations are manned by two armed guards 24 hours a day.
