CONPLAN 8888, also known as Counter-Zombie Dominance, is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Strategic Command CONOP document that describes a plan for the United States and its military to defend against zombies in a fictional military training scenario. It was initially classified by the United States Intelligence Community, but was eventually declassified following a Freedom of Information Act request.
On April 30, 2011, the document was written as part of a fictional training scenario for junior officers undergoing training in JOPES,Joint Operational Planning and Execution System. the DoD's contingency planning system and for strategic training. 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.
