Mammoth Containment Protocol

The Mammoth Containment Protocol started life as a United States government military-led containment initiative after an outbreak of a reanimation virus from a private biological weapons research facility in 1957, dubbed the "Originator Incident".

History
In the aftermath of the Originator Incident, the Mammoth Containment Protocol took on the form of a semi-permanent government agency tasked with tracking down and securing all traces, information and test subjects related to the reanimation virus. In the course of this effort, other dangerous pathogens and biological weapons anomalies were uncovered and these required an explosion of resources and investment to properly contain and dispose of. At this stage, the Mammoth Containment Protocol started to take on the form of a branch of the United States military with its own bases, research facilities and billions of dollars worth of munitions, combat aircraft and combat vehicles.

In the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, spending cuts to the United States military saw the Mammoth Containment Protocol gradually scaled back. Facilities were flattened, virus samples disposed of and test subjects liquidated. However in 1997 the remaining components of the Mammoth Containment Protocol were sold to a private pharmaceutical firm, The Promised Land Inc, on the contractual understanding that they would safely mothball the few remaining Mammoth Containment Protocol sites and repurpose them into conventional defence research facilities. During this time, all sites from M4MM07H-11 to M4MM07H-93 were closed and their associated components dismantled and destroyed.

The Times Square Biological Terrorist Attack in 2005 threw the Mammoth Containment Protocol back into the spotlight. Allegedly under orders from the Kremlin, Russian agents had deployed a reanimation virus in gaseous form in Times Square during the lunchtime rush-hour. What unfolded was an unmitigated slaughter, with hundreds of innocent people being maimed and infected by the victims of the virus; indeed the virus had such effectiveness that within weeks New York City was reduced to a rubble strewn battleground that the United States military barely managed to contain. The incident brought the world to the brink of World War Three once evidence of Russian involvement was uncovered, although such evidence was disputed.

The Promised Land Inc was asked by the United States government to reactivate its remaining MCP sites for the purpose of protecting the nation from future attacks by reanimation viruses. Alongside this reactivation came renewed funding by the tax payers, and billions of dollars once more flowed into the Mammoth Containment Protocol. The Hazardous Containment Combat Unit was created by The Promised Land Inc as a private military force, specifically trained in containing incidents like the 2005 Times Square Biological Terrorist Attack. Aside from this, The Promised Land Inc was also instructed by the United States government to begin perfecting reanimation viruses of its own so that they may be deployed in future conflicts.
