KC was saying that the Nomenclature was going to be released later that the Nomenclature could be important.

Since the MH/SH-53 isn't used by the Coast Guard I'm thinking that it might just be some smoke and mirrors by some bigger group (maybe who ever initiated, or accidentaly let the outbreak happen). The Coast Guard is a more benign branch of the military and noone would fret seeing a flight of helicopters painted up looking like Coast Guard birds, the same can't be said for USAF or US Army birds.
I can't say this enough I may just be reading into this but maybe there is some subterfuge with the "Coast Guard" evacuation sites and Helicopters.
I'm still having trouble finding an American made helo large enough (that isn't a Chinook) to transport 20 plus people, one dog, one cat, all of Burt's weapons/Ammo, 2 or 3 pallets of MREs, tools, misc equipment and whatever water and clothes they bring.
They could rig a pallet under the bird or birds but the newbie pilot wouldn't know how to compensate for the weight shifting during flight.
