History/Back Story
The 5th ID represents the remains of the military survivors who were left in Malton when it was quarantined. Back when the first few where infected, the government decided to take Malton under control. With this goal in mind they undertook a number of military operations and deployed specially-equipped forces. However, the rapidly spreading infection led to many deaths and those who managed to survive became trapped in Malton. Eventually they settled in the area presently located at the south east part of the city, where soldiers and officers fought with zombies, coped with hunger and sleep deprivation, and very few of them were able to survive. The last contact that the 5th ID had with their outside officers, was to create a highly-trained Survivor-friendly combatants on-hand, and take back and hold the key positions, cleanse the area from mutants and pave the way for mass-scale military operations to clean the city of infected. But the outside officers had no idea just how bad it is in Malton.

Zombification
In the event of zombification, all group members take priority in finding and treating the infected group member. If the commanding officer of the group is infected, the next-in-rank will take command, and so-on. In the event of total group zombification, 5th ID will be forced to seek aid of closest group within operating range.
