Two secret service agents approach a door while being followed behind by a General. The General rushes into the room. The room seems to be hastily rushed.

"Mr. President!" The General shouted. "Reports came in, we are safe. But the portal closed after the base on Earth was nuked. We have more Military Personnel than civilians, sir." He said with a worried face.

The President sighed "General Parker, what options do we have and what can we still do?" Ronald Reagan said to the General

"Well sir, we could start finishing the civilian housings so we can get the base fully operational." Parker said with whats left of relief he had hearing that they could still rebuild.

"Well then, lets get onward towards rebuilding the United States, shall we?" Reagan said with smile to try and give hope to the people around him.

"Yes, sir." Said the General smiling too after noticing Reagan trying to bring up morale. 

While the rebuilding process was going on, the President issued a scouting party to explore the area they've come upon.  The United States has teleported whatever they can to ensure the survival of the United States, they are limited but nonetheless a power still. They do not know the area or if they're able to live in this new world.

 

With the squads in shock on what they've found. One of the soldiers said "Sarge, I don't think we left earth. Did we go back in time?" With multiple reports coming in from multiple squads of artificial roads, the President put discovering the lands a top priority. With the first reserve air squadrons already set up after a day of preparation, they began to prepare to scout where the roads lead to. 

The currently inactive Gateway is on a hill which is now Fort Liberty. Fort Liberty is currently a mess of tents, military equipment, and personnel. Thankfully, scientists, researchers, factories, mining companies, and heads of State arrived before the civilians to allow the United States to function again. Fort Liberty is currently surrounded by several trench systems, bunkers, and other modern defenses necessary to stop any Soviet attacks or other foreign attacks that could happen. 

Multiple towers have been built for AA purposes, mostly Anti-Air Missiles and Phalanx CIWS systems. Surprisingly they got those set up rather quickly. Most of what remains of the military is currently a few hundred tanks and thousands of other military ground assets ranging from Humvees, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Self Propelled Guns, and Anti-Air ground vehicles. There currently resides 20 M1 Abrams that escaped, but with the rest of the armored force backed by M60's, M48's, M41's, and M551 Sheridans.
