### The Outbreak

After a major outbreak in the United States, followed by the failure of the respective law enforcement units to quell to infection themselves, the US Army, and the US Marines was deployed along with the Army National Guard.

By late September, it apparently appeared that most of the major cities in the United States were either filled with infected or in chaos due to fear of the infected and the **Boston Police Department** (BPD) was unable to stop them due to the sheer numbers and the trouble of evacuating civilians. That same day, the State Governor deployed the Army National Guard to assist in the evacuation efforts of civilians in the city, and President Angela Cartwright committed large numbers of United States Army soldiers to bolster the efforts of the National Guard. Due to the nature of the assignment, the Army and the National Guard were ordered to eliminate any infected personnel in the respective areas as well as anyone suspected of infected, leaving the outnumbered police departments to handle evacuation of civilians themselves.

### The War Against the Military

As the United States Military began to struggle against the increasingly popular Revolutionary Army as well as the support among the civilian population President Angela Cartwright invoked Operation Gringo. Sending the 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Army to encircle the Appalachian Mountains (the rebel's main base of operations) to prevent them from escaping while the United States Air Force was sent to carpet bomb the surrounding area in order to kill the rebels and choke off their supply lines. However, the operation failed and the Army Rangers were either captured by the rebels or killed by the Infected.

As the rebels made their way into the nation's capital: Washington DC the president began to take more drastic measures issuing a city wide crackdown as well as deploying the United States Army Special Forces and the United States Marine Corps in hopes of defeating the Revolutionary Army however this too proved to be futile and the remaining members of the Army were either captured or joined the rebels in overthrowing the government.
