First response and SHD support

The JTF represents the conventional first response to the outbreak. When containment fails, SHD Agents are activated to reinforce the effort rather than replace the JTF's existence in the setting. [1]

Legacy in Lower Manhattan

JTF experience persists through veterans who join the Peacekeepers after surviving the extended crisis. [2]
