United States Army

The United States Army saw combat in both the North American and European theaters as the ZA1 virus swept through. The entire United States Army was commissioned into 100% readiness when the homeland of the United States was attacked by the virus.

 Before that, many U.S. Army divisions were transferred to Europe during the escalating war against the infection sweeping through Europe. However as the war became more and more apparent that victory was unachievable, some of these divisions were withdrawn from Europe.

 With NATO losing ground rapidly to the hordes of the infected, mass evacuations to the United Kingdom became the sole objective. The remaining U.S. Infantry divisions stationed in Europe assisted with the evacuations

1st U.S Army Special Operations Division (1st S.O.D.)
The 1st U.S. Army Special Operations Division is a division specially trained for conflicts against the ZA1 virus in Europe. The division’s doctrine was completely rewritten to consolidate for the conventional differences with the ZA1 carriers and also included doctrine for actual threats that have learned how to operate firearms and military hardware.

Candidates for the 1st S.O.D. included some of the best servicemen from many U.S. Army divisions and branches. Many were handpicked with combat experience under their belt. Needless to say, 90% of the individuals serving in the 1st S.O.D. are experienced servicemen.

It took seven months for the division to be outfitted with the new doctrine and operational procedures for the division to be effective against the ZA1 carriers. They were transferred to Europe immediately as possible to support NATO forces against the tsunami waves of infected sweeping through Europe at the time.

The division enjoyed relative success in the early stages of the war; however, the division’s firepower was outmatched against the relentless and innumerable size of the infected hordes. The actions of the division insured the evacuation of millions of people around Europe and undoubtedly saved many lives.

However, the dissolution of the division came subtly as the vast numbers of infected overwhelmed the division’s ability to constantly re-supply themselves on the field over the broad frontline of Europe.
