The Division 2: Where Is The Military?

[@georgewaterman1925]

It woukd be interesting to see a navy pov when a ship was out at sea and no radio contact. The hellhole they must have returned to. The last ship deals with this very well and would be a good grounding point to base on.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

It would definitely be chaos, especially when the sailors realize that no supply ships have been around in a while to restock on supplies for their ship.

[@N0tTh3Pr0]

That is a dlc I would pay for....

[@rob5984]

If you've ever read "On the Beach" by Neville Shute it covers the perspective of the last operational US nuclear sub following a nuclear war trying to survive as the wave of radiation slowly moves south from the Northern hemisphere. Obviously a different reality, but the trauma of everyone involved is significant as they try and make contact with anyone left in the US while maintaining a semblance of command structure. Any naval task force at sea, from any country, would obviously be impacted. They'd not be infected and would know, at least initially, what was happening. But how long they could get information and direction would vary. We do know that the President remained in charge for a while, but how well communications held up for existing military forces we don't know. Any ships returning to the US would obviously be susceptible to infection. Even months after the initial outbreak. What would they do? Without resupply they couldn't stay at sea indefinitely. But imagine a ballistic missile submarine on patrol. Designed not to have contact for 2-3 months only to return to base and find out this had happened. Who knows what those folks would do. Something unexplored currently.

[@Thunderchicken69]

The Last Ship is really damn good show

[@1985Seraphim]

That would be awesome!

[@Nick-oh6ms]

For those asking about our div 1 agent from what I've read and seen elsewhere is at somepoint after the first game when Dr. Kandall finds the makings of a cure for green poison (broad-spectrum antivirals) she heads to Ann Arbor which she mentions in a div 1 cutscene about soon having a cure and that they are better suited to create a cure in ann arbor hence why she ends up going and isnt seen in WONY and your division 1 agent traveled with her there as a means of her escort and protect and hence why he isnt around so it would be cool if in another DLC or main division game you could see your agent as a named character like Kelso and Faye or be able to reprise your role as him or maybe even have a game in the area of ann arbor Also one thing that would be cool to know is what happened to the speaclized military units such as Rangers and Delta because even though it got pretty much explained but theyre really skilled in all asspects of combat so it would be cool if when things broke down if they still stayed true to their oath but instead of nationwide they're protecting the communities of where they live and so you would have a future allied faction better and more skilled that the BTSU around but just in a no so prevlant area where main factions like that exist

[@orrthehunter]

Resurgence may cover that since it will take place after prologue chapter only a few days or weeks after Division 1. This may lead to them covering events we only heard from audio logs and notes before events of D2 and maybe expand on current lore we already know by seeing events we do not know about yet.

[@nandoman4769]

Honestly has there ever been a confirmed lore reason that says that our agent in Div 2 isn't the same Agent from Div 1?

[@sebastiangui8599]

​@@nandoman4769devs

[@sebastiangui8599]

Didn't Ann harbor get raided by the BTSU?

[@weaselwolf8425]

Special Ops units would probably be focused towards protecting principal leaders after the collapse of any command structure, and if not then they would probably turn to protecting isolated groups (especially the Green Berets, who would train and help equip the communities they are working with). Overall in a threat like that presented in the Division games you wouldn't want to risk losing high value soldiers unless absolutely necessary, but when it comes to the BTSU and any other possible elite enemy factions maybe then. One of my wishes for Heartland or even Division 3 is that we do get some semblance of that, survivors of units or even the different branches banding together to oppose said elite enemy factions and trying to restore some part of America, if not trying to unite communities against the threats of the times.

[@greenghost5009]

I’m gonna be completely honest with you, it would have been great to work with the military in both division games, I say give some of the ranked a light to shine on them and see the character development throughout the division series and how they grow with the situation and help with the division and JTF, but they had absolutely no presence and that made it a lil bit kind of off, but it makes sense cause in a SHTF situation I don’t think would do anything, they would either stay with the government well some of them and most of them will go home and join the closest and biggest thing as a battalion besides they’re own army, so many possibilities and ways this could have played in the division

Let's be honest Covid wasn't *that* bad if Covid was more deadly I think it would've been worse than Division.

[@kineticstar]

Frighteningly enough, if covid had been like the Black Plague that destroyed Europe and Central Asia; we would have experienced seven out of ten death rates worldwide. Those numbers could be recovered from, but it would take centuries to do so, and I shudder to think of the violence that would happen to reestablish power and civilization.

[@t3hPoundcake]

@@stormer9952 We were lucky that covid wasn't a sincerely unique and deadly virus. It was very contagious but still only affected specific people in such a disastrous way. If there is ever an outbreak of a virus that is equally as deadly and doesn't discriminate - like a smallpox strain - a situation like outlined in The Division is totally believable. There's a reason the smartest people on the planet seem to agree that the biggest threat to human annihilation is a global viral pandemic. I think it would take a legitimate attack like the green poison narrative rather than just a natural outbreak, it would have to hit a lot of places at the same time, but it's a scary possibility.

[@captainbroady]

@@stormer9952 Yea I think media sensationalism and misinformation very quickly caused panic during the initial stages. But the vaccines came out and the pandemic progressed, people realised it wasn't as deadly as it was thought to be. We missed a bullet here. If the virus was 10 times or 100 times deadlier than it was, then I think we could have quite possibly tasted societal and economic collapse.

[@DoomRaiden]

I always assumed the JTF was the military. And was called JTF so it could include volunteers as the needs arise. All in this together kind of vibe

[@Sikeyourdead]

JTF means Joint Task Force so it was easy to assume

[@shdghost8872]

JTF are basically what remains of first responders units (Police, Firefighters, and EMS), CERA (in universe version of FEMA) mixed together with National Guard Troops. With some Volunteers as well.

[@crisschan2463]

yep same, i assume they were the remaining military

[@neofulcrum5013]

I thought about an allied faction for a division 3: A remnant of the National Guard bolstered by a militia in California. They’re beset by three larger enemy factions but because the NG have the better gear, they’ve managed to hold out, but are unable to expand to nearby areas. At least until the agents there are activated.

[@alexwatson5314]

Something I am really looking forward to seeing is how the rest of the world survived after the initial outbreak. Is black tusk a problem elsewhere, does elsewhere have as much of an armed gang problem as the US, could any overseas military presence be causing problems? I’m a Brit with keen interest in the military and knowing life on this wet island it could either go from government has uneasy control to absolute anarchy. Great video!

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Very much unknown; However, you can bet that the world powers of places like the UK, China, France, Germany, and several others would be in their own little areas of chaos.

[@davinathaniel7161]

Since we dont have any info, we may as well assume the rest of the world is "fine", i mean, its only said that it was on the black friday, somehow this got to the rest of the USA, its just curious how we dont see the help from the other nations on the US soil, maybe they couldnt get to it becauase of development or something

[@Andy-iq6rk]

I think I've seen this covered somewhere, the dollar flue broke out on black friday, transmitting first through dollar bills and then through airborne infection from carrier to healthy and before they had locked down the country people had already flown to their own countries infecting large parts or European and Asian countries with the flue, while they probably don't have the issue of black tusk or the sheer level of riots considering the firearms restrictions that would make it easier to contain at the start they were still largely knocked out, leaving not a lot to send help to the US, plus the lack of global trade meaning less food in countries that need it, overall no one really game through unscathed.

[@Alastair_]

I would hope that as an island Britain could have prepared better for it but honestly, going by how the public in the US and the UK reacted to Covid... yeh we'd be fkd.

[@aq5426]

When you do the Faye Lau manhunt, you find a series of recordings detailing what happened in other parts of the world. Europe wound up fine thanks to socialized medicine, Africa is pretty much fux0red, Asia is still locked down, and Western Canada fared better than Eastern Canada.

[@VADER06]

I always enjoy watching NGN's videos but the question that has always been killing me is mainly the transition to the 2nd Division. We ended up cutting the heads off of the Cleaners, Rikers, and LMB, then ended up clearing out their heavily defended areas in NY in the 1st Division and had multiple dlcs after it to keep it replayable. But the thing that I always wondered is what happened to our agent after the first Division. There was no explanation as to what happened to the character we play as with the transition. we basically fast forward to helping out another Division agent defend against rag tag enemies right before the comms went dark and the LMB invaded. Especially when Warlords of New York dropped and Keener destroyed the main area we spent all our time building and fortifying in the 1st Division there's so many questions surrounding that one building and what happened to agents and other people that survived the attack.

[@Nick-oh6ms]

From what I've read and seen elsewhere is at somepoint after the first game when Dr. Kandall finds the makings of a cure for green poison (broad-spectrum antivirals) she heads to Ann Arbor which she mentions in a div 1 cutscene about soon having a cure and that they are better suited to create a cure in ann arbor hence why she ends up going and isnt seen in WONY and your division 1 agent traveled with her there as a means of her escort and protect and hence why he isnt around so it would be cool if in another DLC or main division game you could see your agent as a named character like kelso and faye or be able to reprise your role as him or maybe even have a game in the area of ann arbor

[@VADER06]

@@Nick-oh6ms Thanks that was always annoyed me because it was never straight forward I have multiple characters and had no idea that's where it was at. With that being said why is it the other division operative arrived in DC a few seasons ago without any sign of Dr.Kandall? I would assume she would be as important as the broad spectrum anti virals and the machine we took from BTSU and got taken back by them last season.

[@anthonylevi]

The JTF was formed to include the army. Most division agents have a military background. Some JTF are civilians too. I play a paramedic that became an agent in my head while I play.

[@pyeitme508]

Good question! I think the US military as a whole is in disarray to even crumbled to various factions not just almost impossible to pull troops out of conflict zones around 2014-2015AD Earth but having the leadership screwed up as well as Black Tusk invasion of America just too much for the whole armed forces to handle... 😅

[@dvolsung1527]

I recently watched World War Z and having been in the military myself, I found that movie to have a pretty good grasp on how the military would respond to a massive pandemic where the upper chain of command dies. As for the Division, I wondered what happen to all our over seas bases knowing that other countries seem to have faired better than the US. I mean, there are obviously Air Force since supply drops keep coming in. You'd also think that the UN or NATO forces would deploy to main land US to assist in reestablishing order since Europe apparently faired better. I do know that a PMC like Natalia's would likely never reach our coastline unless it was a world conspiracy against the US. especially with all the armed hostile factions that roam in the Division's version of the US. Anyway, great video. Always fun thinking about that universe.

[@cmortonwvu]

I would say the same as everyone else. They were deployed, many died, the leaders died and they all ended up going their own way trying to stay alive and help those around them.

[@tuskegeeace2840]

I wanna know where the Navy went. In Division 1 theyre locking down manhatten. You can hear fighter jets patrolling ambiently. Carriers, destroyers, patrol boats. But in 2 not a trace. No beached warships from the hurricane, nothing. The JTF still exisits in 2 at least in the vicinity of DC and the convoy near kenly college but I wonder if they'll ever come back to replace the Civilian militias.

[@GuardOfDead57]

Even given that there was an outbreak in the world of the Division, I think the military forces could simply have declared a lockdown and holed up in their bases. Or pulled together to protect key facilities (power stations, nuclear launchers) and concentrate the remaining leadership of the country. This is usually what happens in fictional stories. To be fair, the game doesn't really explore these points, given that much of the story revolves around agents and opposing factions. But I was always upset that the JTF, in the ranks of which there should be both command and combat units of law enforcement agencies and the army, are always exposed as whipping boys.

[@ghostsstarwars1929]

NGN I would say not the hole military gone most of them pulled back to the navy because they are at sea or integrated into the JTF and we don’t know what happened to the rest of the country of the us like Las Vegas or Los Angeles or Boston or San Francisco we don’t know happened to those cities and the military government base of the Cheyenne Mountain complex which is for high command and the back up pentagon and government and you didn’t mention enough of the Navy they could be still around at sea with the remnants of JTF Air Force army and marines and some high command of military and some government so i wouldn’t say completely gone

Great video. It made me consider the Navy in the world of the Div. I served on the west coast and was deployed during the earthquake in the early 90's.

This was pre-Internet access, no cell phone, etc. We were close enough to quickly return to port and care for families but we stayed on mission. It was tense. I can't imagine how similar would play out in a pandemic or the Division's story line. And we were just on a month long outing, so very short: a real deployment would be 6-9 months and far from home port. Physically, there would a number of isolated and deployed ships and submarines around the world during the Green Poison story - wonder if there were any Division agents in the military?!?

[@PygmyO]

If the game developers are paying attention, there is so much they can do with this series for years to come. So many what ifs and possibilities to explore. I'm damn near hooked after discovering this stuff barely a month ago. I was playing the mobile game and was wondering this myself. I assumed the jtf were a mix of service members across the board who were combat troops, with either the NG or AF as command for the group. Even after the near real world scenario we just had, I'm pretty sure the military would never be prepared for this type of thing. Don't really have the numbers or training to deal with it. Especially if this were a completely national meltdown as portrayed in game. Cities with bases would probably be 50/50 and NG armories are usually severely exposed and/or defenseless. Regular troops would be fodder, bullet magnets, sentries and bullet sponges for SF and SHD just like in the game. I hate to say it, but there would also be a lot of civvies and militias who would target service members specifically as a threat to their wellbeing rather than see the military as trying to restore order and protect the innocent and infrastructure. Or see it as a chance to put down anyone seen as helping the government

For me, the problem with The Division 2 was, that is was very poor lore-wise. It was just a soap opera - operator X has gone rogue, go stop him. The first game, despite not being linear story-driven, still had good story, lore and characters. It was interesting to see the JTF fighting for control, to assist the medical personel in finding a cure, to investigate ground zero...

[@aaroncrawford7884]

The military can't be deployed on us soil outside of the national guard, and that was as part of JTF. The military could easily be used to take control of more hostile locations and keep peace but they have manpower in the millions and actual War fighting equipment. That being said, the division is not strickly a combat force, they have many people from a tons of backgrounds and have a wide veriety of missions from critical aid and research to combat and infiltration. That makes them better suited to the current situation. Plus outside of defending the country from foreign threats durring a time of weakness, God only knows what's happening with the US armed forces.

[@jermaineferguson3609]

So what happened to the remaining units of the last man battalion (lmb)?

[@NGN]

They joined the Black Tusk

[@StraddlerSales]

I really wish the next division game would let you play as other factions aside from the division. Like I just got into the Division 1 recently, and man, during the first playthrough, I wish you could've joined those LMB guys. It's annoying working for the division hearing Faye Lau or that annoying security guy's voice over the radio. I don't know, just a clever thought I guess.

[@aaronfilipowich3877]

Here's a question that no one ever asks: the U.S. has an enormous amount of veterans, how many communities, you think are being defended and/or lead by veterans? That's a large amount of combat tested, well armed, trained folks who don't have to worry about the lead weight of command to get things done. It'd be interesting to see how many militias are keeping communities safe. I mean if groups like the rikers and outcasts are surviving I would think militia communities would be thriving.

I have a question about the current events within the season. Am i the only one who hear Hunters disappearing around me in the Open world ? Sometimes its Rogue agents that i don't even see but have spawn somewhere not far from me. I'm maybe crazy but we never know so

[@TrigoNomentry]

I was roaming in New York with a couple buddies and always hear "rogue agent inbound" but can never find him.

[@alexwatson5314]

I’m not sure if this is common knowledge but I still wanted to share and thought this the best place: in Grand Washington Hotel after you break down the door at the end of the mission to the left on the wall is a poster explaining a conference about the use of PMCs in warfare with Blisk, Charles Douglas, and Ellis with Ellis being credited as an ex member of the armed forces council. Just intrigued by people’s thoughts?

Imagine being in a sub during the beginning of the outbreak and coming up months later with ur naval base/home abandoned. Think about it, you go in December and come up in the summer like June for example. I would be freaking out! Not by the outbreak but where did everyone go.

[@thedocklighter]

The US Space Force haven't come up with their own seal yet that you had to use a Warhammer 40K space marine? Usually, a seal, badge or crest is one of the first things they come up with when forming a new branch or service, or are they still in "joke" phase?

[@Sam-Fisher]

Keep it up

[@rob5984]

I laughed at loud at the badge for the Space Force. Warhammer 40k for the win! Although, sadly, the world of The Division is rather grim dark in that sense. Great summary though. Casualties on the sort of scale that happened in this universe would very much impact every aspect of society, including the military. And the military would also be very susceptible, as Tom Parrott was saying to me on Twitter, to the breakdown of the chain of command. In the military it's very formalized and those units that do seem to be semi functional are operating on a much smaller scale and area, The True Sons for example, and have a more autocratic chain of command. Yes The True Sons have ranks, but it was clear from previous manhunts that the higher the rank doesn't necessarily mean they're in charge. Major Castillo, for example, seemed to have less responsibility than Lieutenants. And, as you said, with so many soldiers being in close quarters it's no surprise that they may have even had a higher infection rate than the general population because all it takes is one person getting sick and many more do. Which would spark the desertions, people looking to find family, and people just trying to get away from disease. Those that didn't have family might join up with regional groups like The True Sons or, per Parrott's book, the Molossi, or hopefully the JTF. But they'd want that structure that the armed forces provides. That said. You also have to think that, with the massive impact on the military just like everywhere else in society, there are stockpiles of military hardware sitting around somewhere. Every state has multiple National Guard Armories, as well as larger military bases. Fuel might be a challenge, but there would certainly be the equipment for wannabe warlords to set up their own fiefdoms. We've seen DC and NYC. And even a bit of Texas in books. But places like Montana with the preppers and people with massive stockpiles of weapons could be definitely not great. Anyway. Hopefully all things we learn more about in the future.
