Although the official records state that X-COM started its operations in 1999 this report
claims that it merely used the existing assets of an existing operation called HORUS and expanded its previous activities. - R.
Project HORUS
The history and objectives of HORUS to this day remain a complete mystery. It is assumed that the Council of Funding Nations had knowledge of this secret operation but it is impossible to determine who were the entities originally responsible for the construction of the House of HORUS, as its main base was called, or its original propose.
The significance of its name could give a few indications of the functions it perfomed. Horus was one of the major gods of Ancient Egypt, the son of Osiris, the god of the afterlife, and his sister Isis, the goddess of fertility. Horus was associated with war, the sky and was usually represented by a falcon. As you will read further ahead all of those are related with the role that the House of HORUS performed during the war.
What is known is that the House of HORUS merely changed its name to X-COM in 1999 and started to have a more active and exposed role under their adquired cover. And there is reason to believe that after X-COM was officially decommissioned the HORUS project went back to its underground activities and is still operating today.
Again, this fits the known record of any secret agency: usually they never die, they simply switch back to another less visible role and change names. - R.
The House of HORUS
The location of this hidden facility hasn't been precisely determined, with reports placing it in the Swiss Alps, northern Greenland, Oman or Indonesia. - R.

The HORUS base contains different areas:
Life Support Systems (base is completely autonomous from the outside)
Crew Areas
Advanced Craft Maintenance section
Nuclear Reactor (estimated production level 50 Mw)
Command Center
Sensor Array
Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) Cannon
Computer Core (networked through satellite uplink)
Detention Area (where captured personnel is processed and held upon arrival)
Genetic Laboratory (human genome research and development)
Psychological Laboratory (indoctrination of captured personnel)
