Military

National Guard Bureau

Unnamed Chief of the National Guard Bureau

The **United States Armed Forces ,** or in this case, the **Pennsylvania Army National Guard(PAANG),** referred to as the Military, is the military body for the United States. They were deployed to assist local law enforcement and emergency personnel in containing the zombie outbreak and evacuating civilians throughout the country. Later in the outbreak, they were ordered to enforce quarantine in ground zero,Evans City. Martial law has been authorised, meaning the military is allowed to shoot anyone, even human, if it poses a threat to their objective. All civilians are to remain in their houses and no one may leave or enter the city.

Eventually, once Evans City was considered lost, the National Guard pulled out of Evans City ahead of its nuking. However, some military companies were still in the city. It is unknown how many military personnel were lost in the nuclear strike.

## Road of the Dead

In *Road of the Dead,* the military is the main obstacle that tries to prevent the John Creasman from escaping Evans City. After making it through enough military checkpoints, the militarorsening throughout the city, the military, under orders from General Sherman, is forced to abandon the highway fortifications and evacuate due to an impending nuclear strike.

## Road of the Dead 2

In *Road of the Dead 2,* the player gets more insight into the disarray and chaos of the military effort to contain the undead epidemic, as the players take control of Diane Roseworth and Cocheta Solomon, two isolated National Guardsmen who are separated from other units and are attempting to escape the city alone. Throughout the game, the player is able to listen in to the comms of the military with more detail than the first game, which reveals a hectic situation in which military leadership is perplexed on which course of action to take against the ensuing chaos of the undead, with their indecisiveness leading to units in the field being decimated. No living National Guardsmen are seen until the very end of the game, with the player only seeing undead ones and overrun checkpoints as they traverse the overrun western parts of the city. Eventually, the Army National Guard, now under command of General Sherman, abandon any possible defense and containment of the city and move to evacuate all forces along the bank of the Iachi River(probably based on the Neuse river, which ironically is in North Carolina not Pennsylvania),where they would make their stand. Diane and Cocheta ignore this plan, deeming that they are too far to reach the rally point, keep heading west; however, they are forced to evade carpet bombings along the way, as they have no form of communication with HQ to inform them that they are still on the west side. Eventually, they come across a Hellfire unit moving to assist the highway troops, where he will then assist Diane and Cocheta for a period of time before pulling away, but not before telling them of a transport column moving to evacuate on the highway.

Unfortunately, the transport units have already left the highway, leaving the pair between a rock and a hard place once again. Eventually the pair comes into contact with General Sherman and Flyboy 1, who are heading to leave the city after authorizing the nuclear blast. Diane and Cocheta meet Flyboy 1 in a square mall in the middle of the city, where they evacuate right before the bomb drops. Both military elements and civilians are still prevalent in the city, leading to all these units, including the bulk of the Evans City garrison at the Iachi River evacuation, being pulverized. The nuclear blast is proven ineffective, the sacrifice for naught, leading to the rest of the remnants of the Pennsylvania National guard, and the remaining five components of the military across the country with hope of containment by the military dwindling.
