When the building of the Pentagon started during World War 2 materials were hard to come by and building such a large structure (583 acres) was deemed impossible by any means during that time period. Though the construction of the Pentagon was given the go-ahead the construction of one of the largest buildings ever in the history of the United States was started. Due to the fact that America was in wartime the use of metals was constricted to just frames and wood was often used in greater quantities than metal. Though deemed impossible the construction was completed before the war was over and the Department of Defense moved in to maintain bases and other matters of national security and help the POTUS on international issues.
The Pentagon is a world icon thoroughly known throughout all far and near, and one of the most historical buildings ever. The Pentagon is the center for military prowess for the United States, its allies and houses the Department of Defense. The location isn't in The District of Columbia like the capitol but instead across the drink that is the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia only a small walk from the Arlington Cemetery. As many agree with the Pentagons power often state that, "the Pentagon is the center of military power for the U.S." (Britton). All in all the entire Pentagon is world renowned as an icon and as a figure of world security and freedom from dictation and that the United States is always ready.
