I thought it was pretty clear from the earlier IC posts. It's a fortified civilian structure, a former farm and its' related buildings that's been taken over by the opposition force to use as a HQ. The main point of the recon is to establish their numbers, where the 'hostages' are, and what defences they have. 
You can decide that stuff if you like - though remember the oppo force is representing bandits and renegades rather than a military force, so most of their stuff is likely to be improvised and older models than current military-spec gear and equipment.
