Mariposa Military Base excavation

Main article: Enclave of the United States Armed Forces organization

According to contradictiong informations at Fallout Bibile:
 * on July-August 2236 the Enclave scientists and chemical corps scour the remains of Mariposa Military Base, while assault squads comb the desert for slaves they can use to mine the Military Base (Fallout timeline),
 * the Enclave held the site for many years, but abandoned it after obtaining the FEV samples.

Purpose: FEV search for the Project. CO: Col. Sanders, the highest rank known Enclave officer. Joint task force: Small 4 tents temporary camp located outside the base.
 * troops - it is not certain what unit were Enclave Patrolmen and Enclave patrol part of, however the most probably is Enclave Control Company. It is possible also, that assault squads, hunting for slave workforce and Enclave patrol, that captured Melchior are the same thing.
 * Enclave Patrolmen - at least one squad equivalent, lost during battle against mutated slave miners; supermutants suffered heavy casualties, but 27 of them survived, while 10 the Enclave Patrolmen was KIA:
 * a Patrolman on the 4th level,
 * Sgt. Bracks'es and two Patrolmen on the 3rd level (checkpoint 3),
 * three Patrolmen on the 2nd level (checkpoint 2),
 * Cap. Pickard's and two Patrolmen on the 1st level (checkpoint 1);
 * Assault squads combed the desert for slaves to mine the Military Base. One of them included soldier Frank Horrigan, recently removed from Secret Service after some undocumented psychotic blunder. It is not certain, if it were verti-assault squads.
 * Enclave patrol captured Melchior, a miner from Redding.
 * scientists team of US Chemical Corps aka "pencil necks" (however according to Fallout Bible Enclave scientists were independent form USCC),
 * construction crews (supported by 1st generation super mutant slaves, when excavations begined at 2236 Sept - according to Fallout timeline),
 * vertibird transport.

Inconsistencies at Fallout Bible:
 * single squad was left behind to wipe out the mutated miners, while according to game and the Enclave holodiscs found at Mariposa Military Base:
 * the mutants attack was sudden and two checkpoints were destroyed almost immeditely (7 troops killed),
 * Cap. Pickard with 2 troops was going just to hold supermutants at his checkpoint 3 position, as long as he could (acces corridor to the Base entrance),
 * 10 killed troops were a squad equivalent, but it was not an acting together squad left behind to wipe out the mutated miners.
 * Mariposa Military Base was sealed in Jan 2237, while according to Mariposa Military Base 1st level entry information - the battle against the Enclave Patrolmen has occured recently.
