The United States Armed Forces (USAF)
The USAF are the combined remnants of the United States government and military branches in the Southeast Commonwealth that survived the bombs. They are a shadow of their former selves, but still maintain stockpiles of military equipment. They are headquartered in Joint Base Charleston, and fight for control over the Charleston International Airport with a coalition of raider bands to the east, and Charleston Executive Airport with the CSS.
