Soldiers can now add theFM 999 - 3 Counter - Zombie Operations at the Fireteam Levelto their arsenal – “ the principal doctrinal reference on conducting fervor squad sized foot operations in a Zombie infested surround in the United States . ”

First , identifying these figure - eat demon . alas , only “ qualified medical personnel office ” can identify Type A infection ( the weaker translation that only starts the zombie - conversion process upon death ) . But never venerate , the manual has precise instruction for identifying zombies at any stage of their rotten existence . Stage 1 , Infection : See someone thrill , vomiting , and whose pupil do n’t respond to light or darkness ? Quick , stamp out them like a shot . Do n’t forget to ruin their brains . point 2 , latterly Reanimated : affair get slenderly trickier in this stage . Key movements to take note are stagger walk , arms extended , svelte moan .
