NSA Military Outpost & Storage Depot: Code Name - Tī Kōuka
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_(military)
A military outpost is a detachment of troops stationed at a distance from the main force or formation, usually at a station in a remote or sparsely populated location, positioned to stand guard against unauthorized intrusions and surprise attacks; and the station occupied by such troops, usually a small military base or settlement in an outlying frontier, limit, political boundary or in another country.
Tī Kōuka – The Cabbage Tree

Cordyline australis
Cabbage trees grow all over New Zealand in a range of habitats from coastal areas through to inland foothills. They particularly favour the alluvial soils of flood plains, swamps and lakesides where they like growing in full sunlight.
As tī kōuka grow old and stems die, shoots can grow from the trunk. When this happens they can form a grove of trees. Tī kōuka can grow up to 20 metres in height, with tufts of long, sword–like leaves up to a metre long. They produce white, sweetly scented flowers in late spring and fruit in late summer with a small, whitish berry. The fruit is popular with birds such as korimako (bellbird), tui and kererū (wood pigeon), and latterly introduced birds. The trunk of the cabbage tree resembles cork with a spongy yet tough texture. During the years of settlement, they were often used to line the chimney space on early dwellings as they were quite fire resistant.
How Tī Kōuka was used by Māori
The cabbage tree was a significant food source for early Māori and provided a fibre resource prized for its strength. Māori lived in their pā where whānau groupings were the basic economic unit for supporting their way of life. Each group was allocated an area where they would be able to harvest the resources available from the lakes, rivers, coastlines and forests in their local takiwā(area). Each whānau or pā would have designated places where tī kōuka grew and was available to be harvested for food resources.
