### Battle Situation:

As it stands, the US military and National Guard have been largely thrown into disarray and disorganization due to the lack of information on how the undead operates and how to properly combat them, the ineptitude of military leadership leading to many units being overrun, and the widespread chaos now ensuing across the nation. As stated by General Sherman, the military has been deployed into a plethora of areas and cities nationwide and is currently engaging the growing numbers of undead, but its forces have been spread too thin, leading to many defenseless and poorly-reinforced regions being overrun. It can also be assumed that many of the major urban areas the military have been deployed into are meeting a fate similar to Evans City, with many streets and neighborhoods overrun and thrown into anarchy with the military losing complete control and leadership refusing to acknowledge the situation, or a fractions of what started as a containment area are left.

It is unknown how many troops were in Evans City before the nuke was launched, but since Cochetta mentions entire regiments were massacred, there may have been at least a Brigade element or more sent to Evans City. This means that the US Department of Defense and Homeland Security took the spread of the S-14 virus very seriously and were willing to send CDC and Military units to contain it. This also means that General Sherman may have been a Brigadier General since he is the only General we see in the game. Since there were 40 confirmed units and many more, most likely platoon size, that would have also proven that the US forces were substantial. In addition to the infantry sent in, there were Air force and Army Aviation elements too, as seen with the Hellfire unit and the fighter jets. Oddly, however, there were no presence of armored units but only Motorized regiments with only basic motorized equipment such as Humvee's or LMTV's were stationed. This might imply that the National Guard Bureau might have only focused on more important cities such as New York city, Los Angeles, Denver, Miami, Seattle, San-francisco etc rather than a small town
