What happened

The movement creates a strategic race. If the attackers reach the bunker before the U.S. can reorganize, they can decapitate what remains of national command. At the same time, Joey Washington is trying to deliver intelligence that may change the fight, so the same destination draws both the invading spearhead and one of the main protagonists.

Why the event matters in the wider war

Armored thrust aimed at national command continuity.

What changes afterward

Mount Weather becomes a decisive strategic objective rather than merely a shelter.
