U.S. Military Remnants

After the dust settled on October 24th, 2077, the remaining Navy ships and Air Force planes began to join up with Army, Marine, and Coast Guard survivors. In the coming weeks after the nuclear war, the remaining Navy Carrier groups joined up with the Coast Guard, and began the process of rescuing other military personnel. Knowing that every other Air Force plane besides the P-80's were not capable of landing on carriers, the Air Force pilots crash landing into the oceans and were picked up by Navy ships. Most of the fighter and attack planes survived the hard landings, but large supersonic bombers like the B-52's and Valkyries did not. After recovering the remaining pilots and soldiers from Asia, they began seeking out larger U.S. bases for survivors.
