So, I've been playing for a while and one day I went to Green Mountain which got me thinking about why so many soldiers were there, and what the military did during the outbreak. So here is my theory. Now, throughout Chernarus there are many things that make it clear the military was involved in everything and there a few locations with an obvious Military presence. Those are: Chernogorsk Stary Balota NW Airfield Green Mountain Berezino Now, a few of these locations have tents, and the only ones that aren't for medical purposes ( or at least labeled as medical tents) are Berezino and Stary. Due to the fact that the only places with medical tents are on the coast leads me to believe that the coast, having the only hospitals around, and being home to the biggest cities in the area, was where the Military decided to set up aid locations. Now, I'll jump to Green Mountain for a moment, for anyone who has ever been there, you know its small, and filled with dead soldiers, and a pile of bodies. Now, that is to be expected, but the thing is, Green Mountain is just a small radio station. Why would they have so many soldiers stationed there, and why would they be piling up the bodies? Well, I think that they had a few soldiers there to guard the station while it broadcasted some type of message ( most likely to alert citizens to go to the coast), but as various locations on along the coast began to get overrun, they used it as a fall back position of sorts, probably due to its tower being useful for lookouts, being on a hill, and having the 2 stage fence with a chain link fence as the outer fence, and a concrete wall as the inner part, it seems to be quite a easily defensible location. If they were holding out there, that would explain the piles of rotting corpses and large amount of dead soldiers and Infected soldiers in the area, and it would provide a line of communication to the higher ups. Of course, its quite obvious they didn't last very long, and they were overrun. Now, onto the inland locations. There are 2 military locations inland. The NW airfield, and Stary. I think that they were eliminating infected citizens, or doing clean up operations here, because none of the tents are prepped for any kind of medical attention, and there is a large field of body bags. Now, onto the airfield. I think its pretty obvious with this location. The NW airfield most likely served as a military base before hand, and it would obviously be an important asset to the military for flying in troops, and flying out VIP's. Now onto the last part of my theory: Crashed helicopters Occasionally you can find downed choppers which spawn loot that is usually British, or US weaponry. I think that after the situation started getting out of hand, nations from other parts of the world came to help and this was the fate they suffered. This would also indicate that the infection has not reached the Western world at this time. TLDR MILITARY TRIES TO HELP OUT ON THE COAST, GETS OVERRUN, FALLS BACK INLAND, FAILS. EVERYONE DIES. THE END. If you want to discuss my theory, point out things I missed or flaws, or post your own theory, do so. Just be nice.
