NOTE:
Zombie combat is stressful. Have the Unit Ministry Team (UMT) offer prayers for zombie s alvation as well as prepare their Turn Undead ability, if the UMT is available. If not, say your prayers anyway. Remember, however,
that UMT members can only turn 4 zombies per day per O -
grade.
WARNING: Anyone bitten by a zombie is a zombie casualty (ZC).
ZCs must not be treated as normal casualties, nor can they be mixed. Combat medics and lifesavers must identify ZCs during triage and keep them well away from normal casualties.
ALL ZCs WILL BECOME ZOMBIES IF LEFT UNCHECKED. ZCs MUST BE DISPATCHED BEFORE Z OMBIFICATION OCCURS TO PREVENT FURTHER ZOMBIE CASUALTIES AND REDUCTION IN UNIT MORALE.
9. Continue to move towards a safe area or consolidate defensive position until zombie threat is eliminated or reduced.
