美国军方保护人类免受活死人伤害的战略计划。



美国军方总是会为政府准备一些计划，这些计划永远处于筹备期，紧急时刻随时可以从架子上取下计划书实施。俄罗斯如果发射核弹该怎么办？有应对计划。需要拯救被毒品集团绑架的美国大使？没问题，计划做好了。僵尸爆发的逃生方案？实际上，这个也有。

不可思议的是，国防部的确有计划应对僵尸攻击，军队将铲除这些吃人肉的行尸走肉，以保护“非僵尸人类”的“生命得以延续”。

《外交政策》得到了军方机密电脑网络中泄露出的一份文件，文件编号“CONOP 8888”。这是一个僵尸逃生计划，指导军方指挥人员如何应对各类活死人造成的威胁——从鸡类僵尸到素食僵尸，甚至还有“邪恶魔法僵尸”，并最终摧毁他们。

CONOP 8888计划书的摘要部分写到：“这份计划为美国战略指挥部提供了虚拟的紧急应对方案，全面指引保护‘非僵尸’人类免受大群僵尸袭击的军事行动计划。由于僵尸对所有非僵尸人类的生命造成威胁，（战略指挥部）需要做好准备保护人类生命的神圣延续，目标是为保护所有人类群体——包括传统意义上的敌人——开展军事行动。”

CONOP 8888又名“反僵尸计划”，日期标注是2011年4月30日，这并不是一份搞笑的文件，目前还不是。就像作者在文件的“否认声明”部分所说：“制定这份计划其实并不是一个笑话。”



内布拉斯加奥哈马美国战略指挥部的军事计划人员在2009年到2010年决定用一种比较有创意的方式编写文件，在遭遇任何可能方式的攻击时保护公民。军官们考虑使用僵尸作为灵感的来源。作者写到：“计划人员……意识到，如果公众错误以为一个虚拟的训练方案是真实的，那些以培训为目的的计划就要考虑到这可能造成的政治影响。与其冒风险让我们的后备役人员（在联合作战学校）使用虚拟的‘突尼斯’或者‘尼日利亚’，我们决定选择一种完全不会发生的场景，绝不会与真实情况混淆。”

战略指挥部发言人、海军上校Pamela Kunze承认这份文件被存放在“安全的网络中”，但迫不得已地解释说，僵尸逃生方案仅仅是一个有创意的培训方式。她在一份邮件中说：“这份文件是室内培训课程的一个教学工具，学员们可以学到军事计划的基本理念，并在虚拟的培训场景中取得进步。这份文件不是美国战略指挥计划。”

这已经不是第一次僵尸被用来启发培训师和美国民众的智慧了。美国疾病控制中心专门为紧急应对僵尸爆发准备了一揽子行动计划。疾病控制中心的一张海报上印着一对女性僵尸的眼睛，上面写着“备好工具和计划，时刻准备着。”



但是似乎最先做好计划的还是军方。如果真的爆发僵尸危机，军方的确已经有计划了。

CONOP 8888计划书中阐明了它的目的：“建立并维护预警方案，保护人类免受僵尸攻击。在必要的情况下，采取行动根除僵尸最人类安全造成的威胁。”计划在最后为“帮助民间机构维持社会秩序，在僵尸攻击期间和之后恢复社会稳定”提供了指导性意见。

计划中的“最严重威胁”提到了一个颇为悲观的情景：一个高速扩散的僵尸攻击。也就是很多僵尸吃掉很多人类，僵尸病飞速传播，并且没有疫苗等有效应对工具。

在“僵尸威胁汇总”章节，计划书提到了攻击中有可能出现的集中僵尸类别。它们包括素食僵尸（“以各种原因出现的僵尸类型，但对人类没有威胁，因为它们只吃植物。”）、邪恶魔法僵尸（“这种僵尸生命形态出现于某种超自然的试验，因此被称为‘邪恶魔法’”）和鸡类僵尸。

CONOP 8888中提到：“尽管听起来有些荒唐，但这其实就是实际存在的僵尸种类。”所谓的“鸡类僵尸”就是指那些不能生蛋的老母鸡，被农民用一氧化碳实施安乐死，然后埋掉，之后它们又爬回地面。“鸡类僵尸看起来很恐怖，但它们似乎只会让人类变成素食者，这是对虐待动物行为的抗议。”

活死人的目录还包括来自外太空的僵尸、弗兰肯斯坦式生化工程师蓄意创造出的怪物，以及遭到病原体袭击后变成僵尸的人类。

计划详细描述了从僵尸手中拯救世界的每个步骤，看起来完全像是一个专业的反击战略。从“影响”、“拖延”到“掌握先机”、“占据主动”和“恢复稳定”，以及最终的“重建信心”和“恢复民主政权”。最后一个阶段包含了一些有关“准备布署力量消灭残存僵尸”的指示。

最终，“在美国总统国防部长的主持下，帮助各州、国家和部落在僵尸爆发地区恢复国家基本职能。”

如果说军方的座右铭是“时刻准备着”，那么编写僵尸生存指南——尽管只是虚拟的演习——也算是有其意义所在。国防部的一位官员打趣说：“我希望我们有机会投入同样的精力来应对龙蛋孵化的危机。”



原文：

The U.S. military has always been the one place in government with a plan, forever in preparation mode and ready to yank a blueprint off the shelf for almost any contingency. Need a response for a Russian nuclear missile launch? Check. Have to rescue a U.S. ambassador kidnapped by drug lords? Yup, check, got that covered. How about a detailed strategy for surviving a zombie apocalypse? As it turns out, check.

Incredibly, the Defense Department has a response if zombies attacked and the armed forces had to eradicate flesh-eating walkers in order to "preserve the sanctity of human life" among all the "non-zombie humans."

Buried on the military's secret computer network is an unclassified document, obtained by Foreign Policy, called "CONOP 8888." It's a zombie survival plan, a how-to guide for military planners trying to isolate the threat from a menu of the undead -- from chicken zombies to vegetarian zombies and even "evil magic zombies" -- and destroy them.

"This plan fulfills fictional contingency planning guidance tasking for U.S. Strategic Command to develop a comprehensive [plan] to undertake military operations to preserve 'non-zombie' humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde," CONOP 8888's plan summary reads. "Because zombies pose a threat to all non-zombie human life, [Strategic Command] will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population -- including traditional adversaries."

CONOP 8888, otherwise known as "Counter-Zombie Dominance" and dated April 30, 2011, is no laughing matter, and yet of course it is. As its authors note in the document's "disclaimer section," "this plan was not actually designed as a joke."

Military planners assigned to the U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha, Nebraska during 2009 and 2010 looked for a creative way to devise a planning document to protect citizens in the event of an attack of any kind. The officers used zombies as their muse. "Planners ... realized that training examples for plans must accommodate the political fallout that occurs if the general public mistakenly believes that a fictional training scenario is actually a real plan," the authors wrote, adding: "Rather than risk such an outcome by teaching our augmentees using the fictional 'Tunisia' or 'Nigeria' scenarios used at [Joint Combined Warfighting School], we elected to use a completely-impossible scenario that could never be mistaken for a real plan."

Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze, a spokeswoman for Strategic Command, acknowledged the document exists on a "secure Internet site" but took pains to explain that the zombie survival guide is only a creative endeavor for training purposes. "The document is identified as a training tool used in an in-house training exercise where students learn about the basic concepts of military plans and order development through a fictional training scenario," she wrote in an email. "This document is not a U.S. Strategic Command plan."

This isn't the first time zombies have been used to inspire trainers or the American public. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) built an entire public awareness campaign for emergency preparedness around zombies. "Get a kit, make a plan, be prepared," one CDC poster warns as a dead-eyed woman peeks over a blanket.

But the military appears to have come up with the idea first. And of course, should there be a zombie apocalypse, the military indeed has a plan.

CONOP 8888 is designed to "establish and maintain a vigilant defensive condition aimed at protecting humankind from zombies," according to the plan's purpose, and, "if necessary, conduct operations that will, if directed, eradicate zombie threats to human safety." Finally, the plan provides guidance to "aid civil authorities in maintaining law and order and restoring basic services during and after a zombie attack."

The "worst case threat scenario," according to the plan, suggests a rather dark situation: a zombie attack in which there would be high "transmissibility," lots of zombies eating lots of people, zombies infecting humans at a rapid rate, and little or no immunity and few effective countermeasures.

Under "Zombie Threat Summary," the plan highlights the different kinds of zombie adversaries one might find in such an attack. They include not only vegetarian zombies ("zombie life forms originating from any cause but pose no direct threat to humans because they only eat plant life"); evil magic zombies ("EMZs are zombie life forms created via some form of occult experimentation in what might otherwise be referred to as 'evil magic'"); and also chicken zombies.

"Although it sounds ridiculous, this is actually the only proven class of zombie that actually exists," the plan states. So-called "CZs" occur when old hens that can no longer lay eggs are euthanized by farmers with carbon monoxide, buried, and then claw their way back to the surface. "CZs are simply terrifying to behold and are likely only to make people become vegetarians in protest to animal cruelty," CONOP 8888 notes.

The catalog of the walking dead also includes zombies that come from outer space; those deliberately created by Frankensteinian bio-engineers; and humans that have been invaded by a pathogen that turns them into zombies.

The plan reviews, extensively, the various phases of saving the world from zombie rule and reads not unlike the phases of a counterinsurgency campaign: from "shape" to "deter" to "seize initiative" to "dominate" to "stabilize" and, finally, in the final, confidence-building phase, "restore civil authority." That final phase includes the directive to "prepare to redeploy the forces to attack surviving zombie holdouts."

Finally, "[a]s directed by POTUS and SECDEF," using military-ese for the president of the United States and the defense secretary, "provide support to federal, state and tribal agencies' efforts to restore basic services in zombie-related disaster areas."

If the military's mantra is to "be prepared," then writing a zombie survival guide -- even if it is just for an imaginative exercise -- makes sense. "I hope we've invested a similar level of intellectual rigor against dragon egg hatching contingencies," one defense official quipped.

真实是美国正在研究生化战士，出现了一些暂时可以控制的意思，但是也提醒了他们对意外的防御。

未雨绸缪！！！
