The tag applies to any kind of military installation capable of withstanding an attack. Use this tag only for features that are fully operational or remain in active military use. The bunkers in defensive lines could be equipped with weapons and might have underground connections with each other. It is used as well for reinforced command posts and warehouses, as well for bunkers for civilians.

The tag bunker_type=* specifies the type of bunker.

Note that you should distinguish between tags military=bunker and building=bunker. Use building=bunker only for a building that was originally built as a military bunker. This means that building=bunker can be now used as a museum, for example. Otherwise, military=bunker can be located in a residential building.[1]

How to map

Add a node node at the position of the bunker or draw its outlines as an area area.
