The United States Army is the primary ground force in the US Military. The army was one of Umbrella's bio-weapons customers,[1] and operated its own special weapons program relating to the handling of weaponized viruses.[2]
Umbrella and Raccoon City
Following his recent disagreements with Umbrella executives, William Birkin offerred to defect to the U.S. military authorities with the G-Virus. Knowing that possession of Birkin and the G-Virus would eliminate the need to purchase bio-weapons from Umbrella, the military accepted. The U.S. Government decided to send a Special Forces team to take Birkin into custody. However, Umbrella found out about the deal and sent the Umbrella Security Service to seize the virus from Birkin, while using spies within the U.S. Government to cause the Special Forces to take the wrong underground lift. Rather than arriving at the underground laboratory, they arrived at the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A. Meanwhile, the U.S.S. secured the laboratory and shot Birkin, who injected himself with the G-Virus and caused the t-Virus to leak in the city.
Congress' reaction to the outbreak was to put the city under quarantine, and the US Army and Army National Guard were sent in to ensure the blockade of the city.
One unit was sent into the Raccoon General Hospital (which hosted an Umbrella bio-weapons and virology lab) and, based on Carlos Oliveira's observations, was wiped out by a pack of Hunter βs. Another unit was sent on a specialist operation into the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A, where they killed and were killed by a number of T-103 Tyrants sent into the facility by Umbrella to stop them.[3]
