CONPLAN 8888, also known as Counter-Zombie Dominance, is a U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Command CONOP document that describes a plan for the United States and its military defending against zombies.[1][2][3][4][5] The April 30, 2011 document was written as part of a fictional training scenario for junior officers undergoing training in JOPES, the DoD's contingency planning system.[1][3][6] United States Strategic Command instructors found that a "zombie survival plan" made for "a very useful and effective training tool" while avoiding the political risks of using a real country in training scenarios.[1][3]
