US ARMED FORCES

One of the strongest armies in the modern world, with excellent training, funding, advanced equipment, weapons, technology and military equipment, faced an enemy it did not expect. Most of the US Army was in Europe and participated in the confrontation with the Warsaw Pact on the side of NATO. Reserve units of the regular army remained on US territory, as well as other structures of the armed forces.

By the time the situation on the eastern coast became extremely tense, regular army units began to return to the country to build a tight defense and suppress the outbreak of infection.

In the early days of the epidemic, when tens of thousands of people were infected every day, the army was physically unable to do anything other than armed containment. In addition, there was panic among civilians, with whom they had to actively contact, as well as stress and fear among soldiers, who directly saw how their country was dying. 

Despite all this, the soldiers courageously continued their work, helped evacuate civilians, tried to delay the spread of the infection and provided assistance to everyone who needed it. Now, more than ever, civilians saw their soldiers as saviors and protectors.

The US Armed Forces have the most advanced military equipment in the world only the Soviet Union, so far, can compete with the US military-industrial complex. The US is armed with modern M1 tanks, Apache attack helicopters, UH-60 transport helicopters and many other equipment famous for its reliability and quality. Unfortunately, on its own territory against the infected there was no opportunity to use all the army's resources. 

For example, artillery. The US Armed Forces command forbade in most cases the destruction of the infrastructure of its cities. The exception was when the situation became critical, and the exception was also the A-10 attack aircraft, bombing clusters of infected with incendiary bombs.
