The Last Man Battalion (known informally as the LMB) was a private military company and one of the major enemy factions in Tom Clancy's The Division.

History

Founded and led by Lt. Colonel Charles Bliss, a highly decorated former officer in the United States Army's Special Forces, the LMB comprised almost entirely of former operators from the Army's premier light infantry unit, the 75th Ranger Regiment and the CIA's much feared Special Operations Group, the LMB employs some of the most highly trained and lethal mercenary contractors in the world.

Just before the Green Poison outbreak broke out, the company had been contracted to numerous classified black sites across Western Asia and North Africa, often on the behalf of the United States government. But as the situation in New York rapidly deteriorated, panicked Wall Street financial firms immediately hired the LMB to protect their servers and high-value physical assets stored onsite in their Lower Manhattan vaults. Already exhausted from their hazardous overseas duty, the company was unprepared for their new deployment into the viral maelstrom of the deadliest urban catastrophe in modern history.

Cut off from their clients and caught badly unprepared for the outbreak, Bliss reluctantly formed an uneasy alliance with remaining elements of the JTF, offering his manpower in exchange for badly needed supplies to sustain their operations. Despite the occasional fraternizations between both organizations, the situation in New York continued to rapidly spiral out of control. Frustrated with the apparent indecision of JTF leadership and hamstrung heavily by ludicrous restrictions that prevented the LMB from securing the Financial District fully, the LMB's tenacious situation virtually collapsed when the JTF established the Dark Zone and pulled back to their main base of operations in Midtown.

As the LMB fought viciously in the streets for days in a battle for survival, Bliss became convinced that only the LMB had the means and determination to retake and secure New York from the chaos that plagued the city. Upon securing the Financial District, Bliss implemented martial law throughout the district, often press-ganging civilians living in the district to join the ranks of the badly depleted LMB. Recognizing the JTF's reluctance to condone their former allies' intentions, Bliss met up with their JTF liaison in a bid to convince them to assist the LMB. However, as the meeting grew heated, Bliss executed the liaison and permanently severed ties with the crippled-JTF.

Contrasting to other major factions in Manhattan, the LMB employed far more combat specialists with top-grade military gear and weapons, and their defensive positions were more heavily fortified. As much of their equipment was lost or destroyed in the heavy street-fighting in the early days of the pandemic, occasional expeditions were sent into the Dark Zone, with the intent of recovering large quantities of still-functioning equipment left behind by the JTF during their hasty retreat from the quarantine zones.

Convinced that not just the city but the entire nation would collapse in the atavistic wake of the pandemic, Bliss was determined that his LMB would survive the smallpox, seize full control of New York, and then use their newly created city-state as a base to usher in a new world order - one where only those with strength of will and character survive.

A Rogue Alliance

As expeditions were sent into the Dark Zones to secure much-needed supplies, many such units encountered a number of surviving Division agents left behind during the evacuation of the Zone. With many of these agents cut off and declared rogue, most opted to join the LMB, recognising the PMC as their only hope for survival. One such agent was Aaron Keener, who after a meeting with Bliss, led to another uneasy alliance, which allowed the LMB to gain access to classified Division tech, in exchange for the LMB's manpower for the Rogue Agents' uses. This alliance was based on the idea that current political systems would be incapable of maintaining stable societies in a harsh post-pandemic world. Keener shared Bliss's vision of a grim Darwinian future. The resulting alliance led to several of Keener's crew becoming LMB field commanders.

As Keener became aware of the activation of Second Wave agents into Manhattan, Keener notified Bliss, who authorized Keener's usage of an LMB surface-to-air missile to eliminate the Division agents, in the hopes of destabilizing the remaining JTF in the city. Their efforts proved successful, as the attack killed the bulk of the Second Wave, including its Senior Commander, Louis Chang. However, unbeknownst to the duo, several Division Agents had survived the horrific attack and were instead recovered by an arriving JTF medical crew, eventually arriving at Camp Hudson to begin their campaign to retake the city.

Upon their recovery of their Base of Operations, Division agents learned about the LMB's involvement in the attack and quickly considered them to be the most formidable hostile force operating in New York. Concurrently, as the attack occurred, Bliss successfully hammered out cooperative agreements with other factions, including the Cleaners and Rikers, agreeing to leave their respective factions to their domain and occasionally cooperating in excursions to the Dark Zone.

The Battalion Collapses

Despite these ominous developments, The Division managed to shatter the mercenary company thanks to the efforts of its crack corps of Second Wave agents. These agents proved to be highly resourceful and displayed remarkable adaptability to hostile, deteriorating urban environments. As their efforts grew increasingly successful in spite of overwhelming odds, these agents began setting new standards for Division field operations and their successes confirmed the efficacy of Division training and, in fact, of the entire concept of "stay-behind" operations. As the major factions including Cleaners and Rikers were wiped out, plans were initiated to counter LMB operations. Upon invading the Financial District and carrying out numerous successful operations, the LMB were forced back to their HQ in the former United Nations building. As the combined Division-JTF task force assaulted their HQ, the LMB found themselves abandoned by their rogue compatriots. Seeking revenge on Keener, but unwilling to abandon his men, Bliss made a last-ditch attempt to eliminate the combined task force and retake his base. Despite his best efforts, Bliss was ultimately killed by The Division, who eventually eliminated the last remaining LMB resistance in their HQ.

With the collapse of virtually the entirety of its commanding hierarchy, the PMC collapsed. Scattering into isolated units, many of these remaining units no longer posed a major threat to the JTF. Yet, weeks after this enormous setback, the surviving elements of the LMB rallied under the command of Captain Perez in their underground base in an attempt to wipe out The Division with their sole remaining APC. As JTF forces mounted an assault against their underground fortress, the ill-equipped attackers were wiped out quickly prior to the arrival of Division Agents. Despite this, the Division Agents continued proving adaptive, and successfully planted numerous explosives across the APC, resulting in the deaths of Captain Perez and his underground garrison.

As the JTF began retaking much of Manhattan, surviving forces of each major factions formed a temporary truce at the West Side Piers, seeking to eliminate the encroaching Division and JTF forces. Through unknown means, LMB units established contact with the Hunters, several of whom agreed to join temporary coalition in exchange for eliminating Division agents. Their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful as Division agents persevered against overwhelming odds, fragmenting the factions for the duration.

Fragmentation and Resurgence

After the JTF solidified its hold over Manhattan, several surviving LMB units opted to join with them, in exchange for pardons for their previous crimes. During this period, these newly established units were re-deployed back to the Financial District, serving as the garrison for an outpost based in Wall Street. Yet despite the defections, enough manpower remained that the JTF considered them a potent threat. The Black Tusk, seeking to undermine the JTF's foothold over New York City, covertly supplied the LMB with large shipments of weapons, including the MANPAD Carl Gustav's. However, as casualties mounted, the remnants of the once-powerful PMC were forcibly recruited into the Black Tusk, finally dissolving the Last Man Battalion.

In contrast, the JTF defectors were wiped out as Aaron Keener returned to New York City, leading his new unit of Rogue agents reinforced by resurgent Rikers and Cleaner factions.

Intelligence Brief

Worn and battle-weary, the LMB were none too pleased being recalled from overseas and diverted to Manhattan. With their requests for transfer gone unheeded and extraction, not an option, this PMC has become trapped far from home in the worst area of the epidemic. Tired of indecisive local authorities, their commander, Charles Bliss, took matters into his own hands, disobeying direct orders and executing a JTF official—effectively turning his entire company and himself into mutineers.

Convinced not just the city, but the nation, will collapse under the hopeless burden of the virus, the LMB has no allegiance to anyone but themselves. They will use any and all means necessary to make sure they make it through the storm and to usher in a new world order where only the strong will survive.

Relationships with other organizations

As the dominant military force in New York City prior to the activation of the Second Wave of Division agents, most major factions sought to actively avoid conflict with the LMB. With its disciplined and technologically advanced fighting force, alongside major rogue First Wave agents in their ranks, the LMB locked down the entirety of the Financial District, as skirmishes and conflicts within their territory became limited to those from Rioters. However, despite the LMB's open antagonism with other factions, the PMC has been noted for its willingness to establish the occasional alliance and truce with other major factions.

During the initial outbreak of the Green Poison, the LMB held a neutral view of the JTF, having come to rely upon the organization for much-needed supplies. However, their view of the JTF soon turned sour following major missteps and arguments regarding the rules of engagement. The mutually beneficial relationship collapsed shortly after the JTF erected the Dark Zone and abandoned the LMB in the Financial District and was permanently severed following Colonel Bliss' execution of their JTF liaison. As the JTF further withdrew from frequent attacks from other major factions, attacks on JTF outposts and patrols decreased as the LMB deemed the JTF as insignificant. However, as the Second Wave of agents were activated, the LMB's attacks on encroaching JTF patrols increased, culminating into the JTF's takeover of the Financial District. Bitter over the loss of its HQ, isolated pockets of LMB units repeatedly sought to eliminate the JTF and Division forces, eventually culminating into two major attempts to eliminate both factions through surprise offensives.

The LMB is shown to be getting Carl Gustav's and other heavy armaments supplied by the Black Tusk to keep the JTF and agents busy in Manhattan after Colonel Bliss's death, as shown in the comic Tom Clancy's The Division: Extremis Malis.

Conversely, the LMB views the Cleaners and Rikers as a more legitimate threat, although it is unknown who they think is the bigger threat among the two. One LMB report shows two LMB soldiers disagreeing with each on who they think is stronger. One of them believes the Rikers are stronger because they are filled with dangerous criminals and have access to an array of weapons. The other believes the Cleaners are stronger because of their flamethrowers and their fanatical discipline makes them unable to feel fear.

Any animosity they have with the other factions would have likely been resolved by the time of Resistance as they joined forces with remnants of the Rioters, Rikers, Cleaners, and Hunters to combat the JTF and Division agents as well as to hunt down Aaron Keener.

LMB Gunner
Information
Weapons	Military MK46 (Rank I Regular) Classic M60 (Rank II Veteran/Elite))

Gameplay

The LMB are some of the toughest AI enemies that the player will encounter in Manhattan. Their ranks can range from Lvl 20-30, and above 31 in the Dark Zone. Engaging groups of LMB soldiers on the same level, or higher than the player is not recommended unless the player is accompanied by group members, as they will be able to make short work of the player.

Snipers will act like any other sniper unit, staying back and attempting to pick the player off from a distance. Some Elite Snipers have an under barrel-mounted laser/strobe device that can blind the player during engagements, such as the first sniper encountered in General Assembly. They also throw shock mines that will stun the player if tripped. Unlike snipers from other factions, LMB snipers are sometimes outfitted with sub-machine guns instead of pistols for use at close range.

Riflemen use assault rifles and flashbang or stun grenades to assault the player. These are the most common LMB soldier encountered. A common tactic used by Riflemen is to flank the players while they are distracted by other LMB soldiers.

Scouts will run up as close to the player as possible, like the Rikers, and use a semi-automatic shotgun. When playing on Hard or Challenging, or if too low in level, multiple Scouts can easily wipe out teams of Agents.

Gunners act like other AI heavy gunners, they normally have heavy armor, and can sometimes be seen using riot shields. LMB Gunners are the only Heavy-type enemy to appear as regular enemies, rather than only as Veteran (purple) or Named Elite (gold) rank enemies.

Grenadiers will use a grenade launcher, instead of hand grenades, which allows them to fire multiple grenades at a time instead of one like other enemies will do.

Engineers will deploy turrets that are much stronger than those of the Cleaners and will repair them when damaged.

Medics will deploy support stations to heal nearby LMB soldiers, as well as themselves, and move to repair their stations once they are damaged. On Hard or Challenging difficulty, Medics should be primary targets if no Scouts are present. Their support stations will constantly heal all LMB soldiers, and if there is even one Medic left, they will repair the damaged station or place down another one if destroyed.

The LMB, due to their connection with Aaron Keener, is also known for having rogue First Wave agents at their disposal, capable of using similar tech and abilities as the agents that fight against the Battalion, such as turrets, seeker mines, and the likes. They are also capable of hacking any Second Wave agents' equipment such as their own turrets, and mines, to the LMB's advantage.

In New York, The Black Tusk is revealing to be supplying the Last Man Battalion with Carl Gustav's and other heavy armaments as shown in the comic Tom Clancy's The Division: Extremis Malis.

Branches

Unlike the other factions in Tom Clancy's The Division, the LMB is the only faction that has multiple branches.

Rank I

The most common LMB type seen around the city. They can be identified by their white clothing, black vests, and white ski masks.

Rank II

Rank II LMB soldiers are seen in some of the last missions and incursions, usually used for defensive reasons. They can be identified by their solid black clothing and face masks. They do more damage than their Rank I counterparts and have access to tactical grenades.

Special Forces, or Rank III

LMB soldiers that are only seen on missions set on Legendary Difficulty. They have the same look as their Rank II counterparts, only with a light grey vest instead of solid black. They don't have an enemy level; instead, a shield symbol is behind their archetype symbol, indicating that they have the highest amount of damage and health.

Legendary missions usually start with a squad of LMB SF on regular difficulty, but after they're killed all LMB SF encountered from that point on are encountered as Elite.

Final Boss

The final boss fight is fought at the United Nations building. The player must fight the LMB leader, Charles Bliss, who uses a UH-60 Black Hawk military helicopter armed with miniguns and rocket pods.

In order to do sufficient damage to Bliss, the player must manually activate the six turrets encountered earlier that are spread out around the courtyard. The turrets will begin firing at the helicopter, but after about 10–15 seconds of fire Bliss will destroy the turret with rockets. The helicopter will fire its miniguns at the player, which will put the player in a bleed-out state in a matter of seconds. The helicopter will also use its rocket pods to target a player and barrage the area they are in, acting much like Grenadiers. Once the bosses armor bar is at about half, LMB soldiers will begin pouring out of the U.N. building to engage the player; these will normally consist of Riflemen and Scouts but can include Medics as well.

After the helicopter is damaged to the point of its health being below 25%, it will catch on fire. Upon the health bar reaching 0%, the helicopter will crash into the nearby building to the south of the courtyard, killing Bliss on impact. After the remaining LMB soldiers are killed four items of superior rarity will drop around the helicopter crash site.

Until Update 1.1, this boss fight marked the last "major" boss fight in the game, and up until Update 1.2 that title belonged to the APC in Falcon Lost. As of 1.2., The last "major" boss fight in the game now belongs to the Firetruck, Dubbed "Dragon One" by the cleaners In Dragon's Nest.

Trivia

• The LMB is one of the more morally ambiguous enemy factions. While they are absolutely ruthless, they mostly believe they are doing the right thing and, in some cases, they seemingly have more success than the JTF. Their strict rules are oppressive, but the civilians in the LMB territory are generally far safer from Rioters, Rikers, and Cleaners than civilians in some of the JTF controlled areas. One phone recording of two rioters talking reveals that they are far more afraid of the LMB, opting to risk facing the JTF instead, whom they consider to be soft and less deadly. The civilians are safe due to the LMB's patrols and checkpoints all throughout their territory, with virtually no presence from other factions. On the other hand, the LMB does little to improve the living conditions of the civilians in their territory. Being a militaristic organization, most of their assets and knowledge are focused on the strategic and tactical side. While the JTF draws from police, military, medical, engineering, and maintenance organizations, the LMB has done little recruiting at all from the population, possibly because few want to live under their rule or they do not trust civilians. The engineering and medical resources that they do possess are dedicated entirely on their military mission. This makes the LMB very combat effective, but means any civilians have to do without.
  • If a civilian comes to close to a patrol, they will issue a verbal warning for the civilian to back away. If the civilian moves away, the soldiers will not shoot; but if the civilian comes closer, they will shoot and kill the civilian.
• If the player purchases the LMB Faction Bundle from the Premium Vendor, they will get the Rifleman outfit.
  • Players can earn parts of this bundle from doing Incursions, as well as missions that have Heroic difficulty.
• The LMB is shown to be getting supplied by the Black Tusk to keep the JTF and agents busy in Manhattan after Bliss's death, as shown in the comic Tom Clancy's The Division: Extremis Malis.
• According to a State of the Game podcast a portion of the LMB were absorbed into Black Tusk and will provide Black Tusk with new archetypes. These will include Rushers (timestamp 26:25) and Supports (timestamp 28:11).
• A portion of the LMB is shown to have joined the JTF after Bliss's death according to the Animated Short for The Warlords of New York. LMB Riflemen, Rushers, and Squad Leaders are wearing JTF letters on their apparel now. They are no longer using the color scheme of red, white, and black. It is now green, grey, and black.
• Besides those bases seen in missions the Last Man Battalion is shown to operate several other bases and checkpoints in the Light Zone that the player can stumble across. Located at several important intersections, these camps and bases seem to be used as checkpoints to further control traffic through the territory that the LMB controls, as they tend to be located at heavily trafficked intersections.
  • In Midtown East there's Camp Washington at the intersection of 56th Street and Madison Avenue, Camp MacArthur at the intersection of 49th Street and 5th Avenue, and the quarantined Camp Adams at the intersection of 53rd and Park.
