I'd REP you again, but the damn thing won't let me. You give great insight into Army details.
Quick Theory About Irwin's History
Evidence:
The strong emphasis on medical clearance at Irwin
That their helicopter was recognized upon arrival at Irwin.
The 35 mile isolation buffer from the outbreak
Puck isn't a 'newbie' despite only being in 1 1/2 years
Irwin was between training cycles at outbreak = Few Active Duty Personnel
Theory:
Irwin was probably used as an emergency EVAC site at the time of the outbreak
Much of the base's current personnel are probably made up of civilians who were flown out of LA and nearby locales
Even with the geographic isolation, they must have had an internal zombie outbreak due to some of the evacuees being infected and then turning upon arrival
The internal outbreak was quelled, but they probably lost many people during the mini-disaster
Puck was one of the few original Army guys to survive the outbreak, and so was quickly promoted to positions of responsibility over the incoming civilians
So the colonel (highest ranking left alive) took over with an iron fist and a firm mandate that all Irwin personnel MUST get a physical at least once a month to ensure no further outbreaks happen
