US Army

The US Army is a prominent military force in Grand Theft Auto V, primarily appearing around Fort Zancudo, the high-Security military base located in Blaine County. As the main branch of the United States Armed Forces, the US Army is responsible for defending the nation and carrying out military operations. In GTA V, the US Army plays a significant role in maintaining Security around Fort Zancudo, and players who attempt to trespass on the base are met with extreme force, including tanks, helicopters, and armed soldiers.

In Grand Theft Auto V, the US Army is depicted as a highly trained military force tasked with defending Fort Zancudo and responding to national Security threats. Fort Zancudo is a restricted area, and any attempt to enter or approach the base results in a swift military response, often involving tanks, fighter jets, and heavily armed soldiers. The US Army’s presence is most visible around Fort Zancudo, where they are stationed to protect sensitive military equipment and Vehicles, such as the P-996 Lazer fighter jet and Rhino tank.
