Where to put Stargate Command?

While rewatching the first episode of Stargate SG-1, I realized again, that it might not be a good idea to put your secret portal to other planets right under your central air command bunker.

The Problem

An attack through the stargate could not only give the invading aliens a defendable beachhead. It would also destroy the current command structure and could thus slow the response time of our air force, when a full-time invasion hits.

But where would we put such a teleportation device, to explore the galaxy?

Constraints

Assuming the device would work similarly to the TV-Series, so it would need a lot of energy, and we have no other alien technology, other then the stargate itself.

So we would need some kind of infrastructure, where people working on the project could live and where research is done. The stargate is secretly owned by the US, without the knowledge of any other county.

I'm seeing three possible threats at the moment which should be addressed:

• An alien Invasion by the Goa'uld, trying to come through the wormhole.
• A malfunctioning alien device, that will affect the surrounding area. (e.g. a nuclear explosion or a time dilation)
• A disease, affecting people. (Similar to Sight Unseen)
