Department of Field Operations

Welcome to the Department of Field Operations, the command and control center for DHPD Operations in the DMZ and through out our sphere of influence.

Please direct any and all questions to the DHPD Captain at DHPD HQ.

Squads

The primary offensive units of the Dunell Hills Police Department are the squads. Typical squad activities include securing resource buildings, defending safehouses, and clearing revive points as needed. Large squads can break into teams to operate independently at the squad leader's discretion. Some squads have traditional roles and missions, which are outlined below. Squads will also occasionally travel outside of the DMZ to perform missions.

Squad activities are semi-autonomous; however they are subject to direct control by the Department Captain during assigned operations.

Joining a squad is a high level commitment. Squads are very active in-game and on the forum. Ideally candidates should (under normal circumstances):

Be able to login to the game five or more days a week.
Check the DHPD Forum five or more days a week.

These are not absolute requirements, but best serve the needs of the department and provide for the maximum enjoyment of these positions. If you wish to join a squad, please contact the squad leader or the Department Captain on the DHPD Forum.

Operational Squads

Alpha Squad

Commander: Goldstar
Base: Classified
Specialty: Advance Scouting/Mobile Assault.
Recruitment: Currently Recruiting
Description: A heavy strike team that specializes in the occupation of suburbs, and the liberation of survivors from the local zed infestation. We secure and hold key resource buildings, and from time to time, wipe out groups of zeds if need be. When we're not on our own missions, we act as support to the other squads. Members from all walks of life are welcome to join, as we have roles designed to meet your specifics. Complimentary donuts upon joining.

Bravo Squad

Commander: Lee McCord
Base: Classified
Specialty: Front Line Combat/Field Ops.
Recruitment: Currently Recruiting
Description: A big attraction, and the largest squad, it handles most of the large attacks. Bravo is the heavy lifting squad, doing the hard work for little recognition. If your interest is doing good work rather than gaining praise, you're the man (or woman) for us.

Charlie Squad

Delta Squad

Very competetive squad to get into, with a few Delta alumni currently commanding squads of their own now.

Dixie Squad

Commander: Marty Banks
Base: Broadbelt Grove Precinct
Speciality: Support/Medical Services and Revives.
Recruitment: Currently Recruiting
Description: For those interested in being a medic or reviver more than killing those dastardly zombies! If we had helicopters, this would be our para-rescue squad. These valiant men and women run into combat under fire to heal, barricade, and revive, then jump right into the fray. Always on the look out for hard-charging zombie killers and survivor defenders.

Ghost Squad

Commander: Tarabon
Base: Any unoccupied ruin
Specialty: Real Time Strikes
Recruitment: Selective
Description: A small squad consisting of officers that are available around the same times. We coordinate in our chat with ruthless effectiveness. The Top Brass points, and we're the tip of the spear into any desired building or area. When not on our own or prepping for a strike, we support the main body of the department as scouts, medics, PK hunters, or meatshields. This unit has its own corpsman (medic), therefore is able to operate without support. Prospective recruits must recieve a 2/3 vote from active Ghost members to be allowed in, and must be available in the same time-frame for coordinated strikes.

Omega Squad

Precincts

The DHPD used to operate precincts which were the department's primary defensive units. They were Operational Headquarters for DHPD Officers and usually consisted of a Station Chief and his/her staff. Precincts can vary in size, from a bustling HQ filled with assigned staff and associated officers to a small outpost which may be staffed by as little as one officer.
Changes in game mechanics and an increased zombie presence within the DMZ led to a change in tactics employed by the DHPD, with the department becoming a much more mobile force. As such, the DHPD no longer maintains a full time precinct presence, but still holds strong connections to a number of the DMZ's key precincts and these areas are still the scenes of some of the fiercest battles occurring within the region.
