Once the Enclave have made their first appearance during The Waters of Life quest, checkpoints, camps, and outposts will have been established at various locations throughout the Capital Wasteland. These outposts are typically manned by an Enclave officer, accompanied by several Enclave soldiers and other forces ranging from sentry bots, defensive turrets, and mind controlled deathclaws. Some of the sites are used for exterminating ghoul wastelanders, with an Enclave soldier using a flamer or heavy incinerator to carry out the task of disposing of the corpses.
