Dyess Air Force Base bomb wing commander shares anti-zombie response plan

ABILENE, Texas - If hordes of the walking dead ever rush the main gate at Dyess Air Force Base, area residents can rest easy: The commander of the 7th Bomb Wing has a plan.
<snip>

In answering the online question, VanHerck didn't hesitate to lay out his masterful yet imaginative action plan against the walking dead. First, he would make sure the base is secure.

Next, "To get the word out about the zombie attack or possible other events, we'd need to alert our personnel by posting notifications to the Dyess Air Force Base website, social media and the Commander's Access Channel."

Then, he said "to protect our assets and the installation, I would direct our civil engineers and logistics readiness squadron to use their equipment to further fortify the base, adding physical barriers in addition to our gates and fences."

Civilians wouldn't be left out of the plan. The base would use its C-130Js to airdrop food and supplies to Abilene neighborhoods. After all of this, the base would unleash its B-1Bs to take out the zombies.

Reports have been circulating both online and by word-of-mouth claiming that the 7th Bomb Wing Commander at Dyess authorized the transfer of nuclear warheads from Dyess to the east coast using B-1B Bombers.

Based on the number of people who have contacted us, Dyess officials have released the following response:

"Please be advised that the information contained in recent reports on nuclear weapons movement from Dyess AFB was neither released nor supported by the 7th Bomb Wing commander or representatives from Dyess AFB. Please reference the Dyess AFB website (www.dyess.af.mil) or other official Air Force websites for accurate, up-to-date information.

With regard to potential U.S. actions in Syria, it is the 7th Bomb Wing's mission to prepare to support military operations if tasked. However, as a matter of policy, we do not discuss the possibility of unit-level involvement in potential military operations or preparations for military operations.
