“Yes Sir,” the squad leader said. With that the squad loaded up and got the truck into positon in the convoy. The Colonel then told the Bradley to return to the convoy and he would walk back to his vehicle.

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Mel had been very busy since day one of the event and she hadn’t really slowed down since. She was now responsible for all of the Family Services on base which covered hundreds if not thousands of families. They had also started reach out programs to the refugee camps that now surrounded Camp Parks or just about.

Family Services included finding homes for new military arrivals that had families, helping them get furniture, pot and pans, fuel, food, childcare and the kids into schools. Just about all of the spouses worked on post doing something there were exceptions where mothers or fathers stayed home with young children or to care for a family member. Family members who worked were paid with various items, more food, fuel, and creature comforts things of that nature.

There was a Post Exchange which allowed for barter in goods, you could also buy items with gold, silver, diamonds, or other precious stones. If you wanted to barter then it had to be something that could be put back to use by the community some place. Also, there was no credit to anyone but there was always a way to work it off. They also accepted US coins (no paper money) the coins had some value still, not always much. The paper money could almost be picked up off the street it had no value anymore, you could walk into any bank these days, because there was no one there and grab stacks of hundred dollar bills.

Mel and the kids had adjusted to life inside the camp, it had been close to six months since what they still believed was an EMP event and if it was that, was it solar or nuclear, no one knew. To help the kids better acclimate to the new order some of the old order remained. There were enough kids to start little league, pop warner football, softball and soccer, all after school activities. As for now these activities were limited to on post only, where security was guaranteed.

Mel’s outreach programs in the refugee communities were meant to help women with children who were struggling in aftermath of the event, they were fortunate to have made it this far and still be alive or made someone’s slave. She was meeting with marginal success there was lawlessness throughout the camps so woman with children were easy targets for rape, and burglary. It started to change after about two weeks a brow beating John regarding security issues inside the refugee camps.

She asked John why an A-Team or two couldn’t train security forces for the camps. After all wasn’t that really their mission in the Army. John couldn’t argue with her about it, one of the Missions of Special Forces was to train indigenous forces, as force multipliers to fight alongside US forces.
