The U.S. military has always been the one place in government with a plan, forever in preparation mode and ready to yank a blueprint off the shelf for almost any contingency. Need a response for a Russian nuclear missile launch? Check. Have to rescue a U.S. ambassador kidnapped by drug lords? Yup, check, got that covered. How about a detailed strategy for surviving a zombie apocalypse? As it turns out, check.

Incredibly, the Defense Department has a response if zombies attacked and the armed forces had to eradicate flesh-eating walkers in order to "preserve the sanctity of human life" among all the "non-zombie humans."

Buried on the military's secret computer network is an unclassified document, obtained by Foreign Policy, called "CONOP 8888." It's a zombie survival plan, a how-to guide for military planners trying to isolate the threat from a menu of the undead -- from chicken zombies to vegetarian zombies and even "evil magic zombies" -- and destroy them.

Apparently, it's not that uncommon for people who have gone long periods of time without food and water, to act like zombies. I wonder if this is code for that kind of situation.

Im hoping you are right.


Our gov has really jumped the shark, I really cannot tell the difference between the onion and "real" news any longer.

Someone was bored twiddling their thumbs while waiting the 3 to 6 months for the Security Clearance to show up and created it, hence being unclassified.
Guarantee that is what happened.

There is a video game out now called Plague, Inc. It is wildly popular, fwiw. The goal is to kill off the entire human population. You start off as a bacteria and if you kill off the planet you graduate to virus, then parasites, etc. Eventually you get to the "necroa virus". That's when the zombies kick in. In the game, governents resort to nuclear weapons to fight it. Is there any doubt that would happen IRL? But I don't see zombies ever happening, other than the statist variety.

Sounds about right , I never made the best or quickest decisions after three days with no sleep and no water, just better than anyone else .

Isn't an Zombie Apocalypse Fiction?

Completely unsurprised. The nature of the DoD is to lay away a contingency for every conceivable thing no matter how impossible or unlikely because 'you just never know.' I guarantee you there are contingency plans for locust-like bug aliens landing on the Earth too. Doesn't mean that ANYBODY thinks it could or would ever happen...It's more about "if you can conceive of something....anything....then let's put a contingency plan together to address it."

The rationale is not so much that someone thinks a ZA could happen, but more about something else, totally unforeseen and unexpected that might happen to present itself similarly enough to a ZA, that the given contingency plan could be a close fit.

The War on Zombies would undoubtedly lead to more zombies, a deadlier zombie-virus, and bigger budgets to fight the zombies.
