CHARLES BLISS: You can see the results of relying on the Joint Task Force right here in the middle of Manhattan. That's what they're calling the 'Dark Zone'. That's a melodramatic way of saying it's a region of complete lawlessness. No surveillance and total lack of ability to enforce control. That is something you cannot have on your watch.
LMB SOLDIER: Sir, I thought the purpose was to evacuate?
CHARLES BLISS: And how did that work out? Sure, they got the people out, but what did they let back in? And all the equipment and hardware they left behind. We're talking amateurs, here, in charge of public safety in one of the biggest cities in the country.
LMB SOLDIER: Yes sir.
CHARLES BLISS: The point is, this just proves that our operations are more efficient. Methodical expansion. Civilian processing. Enhanced interrogation. We're working at twice the efficiency with half the manpower. The fact that the JTF failed miserably with the Dark Zone is the same reason this city needs the Last Man Battalion.
