Acquire A Weapon

When first becoming aware of the zombie

problem, not panicking is of paramountimportance to your survival. Your first order of

business should be to acquire a melee weapon.

Some law enforcement and civilians will still

be active and using guns will only draw

unwanted attention. The goal of this melee

weapon is to maintain the distance between you

and your attacker by causing stumbling, broken

bones, or falling to the ground. At this point,

weapons should be used to facilitate escape, not

necessarily to kill. An important fact to

remember is that anything around you can beturned into a weapon under the right

conditions. Preferably a cylindrical, long object

that one can swing will be near, but make sure

whatever weapon you acquire, a backup is also

maintained. This is if your primary weapon

breaks because nobody wants to be caught flat-

footed and defenseless.

Forming A Group

A group of twelve people is the ideal situationto find yourself in when attempting to survive

the zombie apocalypse. This number of people

does not make it too difficult to maintain

supply levels, but is a good

number to facilitate supply

scavenging, fighting small

groups of zombies, and getting

tasks done quickly. Anymore

than twelve survivors may

stretch supplies to thinly, but

too few people and clearing out

buildings and protecting them

may become significantly more

challenging.

Types Of Survivors

Finding specific types of

people in this chaotic time will

be difficult, but pay dividends.

A medic, military (ROTC) student, cook, a couple

people with weapon handling experience,

organizer, and a local will do wonders. The ROTC

student will help with navigation of the Armoryand is trained to think as a

team 100% of the time. The

organizer can keep stock of

what is on hand and

required/desired supply

wise. The local is best

suited to being the

navigator of the group and

finding supply cache

locations. The medic, cook,

and gunmen are self-explanatory. Furthermore, it

is highly suggested the group contain both men and

women. A testosterone/estrogen imbalance will

make the group more volatile and at some point the

issue of world repopulation must be considered.

Interaction With Other Groups

Be extremely wary when approached by other

groups. As time passes, people will become more

and more desperate to obtain what they require. It

is highly advised to refuse help to all groups. Notonly will they consume valuable supplies, but they

may choose to seize them all and leave your group

for the undead. On an individual basis, let in only

those whose loyalty you can prove, which may

involve a lengthy trial period. Be warned, the more

people you take on, the larger target and more

cumbersome you become.

man squad formations in the shape of the blue

dots in the figure to the right. The yellow cones

represent that squad members zone of

responsibility. This gives the best coverage ofthe surrounding area to prevent ambush. When

in battle, this formation allows three squad

members to fire to any one side of the

formation.

Armory Information

Entering And Securing The Armory

Approach the armory from the front as its

entrance provides the easiest access to supply

areas and the least approaches for zombieattacks. Once the front lobby has been secured,

split up into teams of four. In order of

precedence, the group needs to secure the

supplies downstairs, upstairs, and finally those

on the main level. Designate one team to

defend the armories entries and exits. Until

moving to secure the drill deck's supplies, post

one survivor at the doorway leading to the drill

deck, one at the front door, and the last two at

the top of the back staircase which can be

reached by moving to the upper floor at the endof the hallway. Once the top and bottom floors'

supplies have been procured, move onto the main

drill deck and move the security team members to

the North, South, and East sides of the deck. In the

following sections, the supplies to gather and theirlocations are discussed in further detail.

Lower Level Supply Acquisition

To the right of the front doors is a staircase leading

to the basement. Directly in front of the team at the

bottom, is the door leading to the main supply

rooms. Within the main supply rooms, the team

needs to secure: Navy Working Uniforms, ILBEs,

canteens, camping gear, and large containers. The

Navy Working Uniform, as seen on the right, is

comprised of a long sleeved blouse and a pair ofpants that are bite resistant and built to withstand

the toughest elements . They also have heavy

jackets which keep the wearer warm in the coldest

climates. Steel-toed combat boots are worn on the

feet which connect seamlessly to the pants and

provide protection while maintaining agility.

Finally, thick leather gloves and a hat can be worn

for further protection. Next, ILBE's are military

backpacks, as seen on the left, that can increase the

carrying capacity of each survivor by 122 liters

(Military Times 1). This space provides flexibilityin what your team can/wants to carry. In addition,

lashing straps allow the attachment of weapons that

are within arms reach.

Third, the canteens are durable and each can store

one liter of water for indefinite amounts of time

and the numbers contained in the armory, fifty

plus, will provide a good supply of water. Camping

Final Armory Notes

Due to several expansions and rebuilds throughout

its history, the Armory can be a highly confusing

place to those who have never visited its innerhalls. These pictures are here to guide you around

a building that allows no space to go unused and

stocks incredibly useful gear everywhere. This

guide is guaranteeing that with the nature of the

Armorys storage system, supplies will be there for

your team to possess. The military is prepared for

battle and youre in the middle of one.
