| abstract | - Maddox, International is a global private military firm founded in 1988. Since 1988, Maddox has supplied staff and services of a military nature for hire and use as private armies. The hiring of professional soldiers is a common practice in the history of armed conflict. Historically, these soldiers are commonly known as mercenaries, and many critics of Maddox have compared them to such. While Maddox offered services to train or supplement official armed forces in service of governments, they could also be employed by private organizations to provide bodyguards for key staff or protection of company premises, especially in hostile territories. Maddox has continued operating into the crisis of the worldwide Worldwide Zombie outbreak. They have supplied mobile armed military personnel to assist in areas usually unreachable through the Zombie Outbreak. For example, the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency closed off a large portion of the American mainland due to the weight of Zombie numbers and an increasing inability to deal with the crisis. Survivor communities within the abandoned 'Contaminated Zone' were offered armed services by Maddox, International. Personnel would be dispatched usually via helicopters, and help equip civilians with gas masks and other necessary articles for surviving the outbreak. Maddox forces would usually fight in such situations for personal interests, or be paid a fee by the desperate citizens. Means of contacting them is usually unknown. Notably, Maddox has an office in Sacramento, California, outside the limits of the U.S. Contaminated area.
