The FT3 combat shelter was built in 1906 on the right bank of the Meuse River as part of the Verdun fortress system, designed to house 100 infantry soldiers. During the Battle of Verdun in 1916, it was converted into a command post (PC118) and changed hands multiple times between French and German forces. The shelter was heavily damaged by French artillery when occupied by German troops, particularly on its vulnerable masonry facade facing Verdun, rendering it unusable.

The Abri-Caverne de Douaumont was an underground shelter for French troops during the Battle of Verdun. Carved into the limestone bedrock, this shelter offered protection from artillery fire and served as a rest and assembly point close to the front line. Strategically located near Fort de Douaumont, it played a crucial role in supplying and sheltering soldiers during the fiercest fighting of 1916.
