The US military has a plan for combating zombies, developed as a training scenario for officers. The plan focuses on identifying the enemy, securing vital infrastructure, and coordinating forces.
While the military lacks direct experience fighting zombies, it has responded to disasters and outbreaks, providing valuable knowledge. The plan relies on open-source intelligence from movies and games to categorize zombie types.
After detecting disease vectors, the US government will attempt to deter zombie creation. If an outbreak occurs, the military will mobilize, avoiding actions that could provoke Russia or China.
Within 40 days, the military will launch an offensive, potentially using nuclear weapons to eradicate zombie hordes. However, legal concerns arise regarding the military’s deployment against former citizens.
The plan argues that zombies are not humans and are subject to fewer restrictions. While meant for training, the plan could prove useful due to the military’s experience in disaster response and reestablishing order.
