Mod:Fallout Dallas/Late-Deployment Regiment

The Late-Deployment Regiment System, or LDR, was a contingency plan devised by early Enclave leaders before the Great War.

Background
Before the War, several high-ranking United States government officials formed a concept under which large quantities of men and materiel could be stored for future military purposes. Thanks to their strong ties with Vault-Tec, the officials wanted Vault-Tec to assist in providing such storage space. Vault-Tec engineers, however, found that the cost of such storage would be extremely high, and that such a plan could not be implemented on a large scale.

For the most part, the idea was shelved. In Texas, however, an Army sergeant and former oil magnate by the name of Lawrence Campbell decided he would fund the cost of such a project himself. Using property he had owned in Fort Worth, Campbell and Vault-Tec began construction on Vault 44 in 2068. In that same year, Vault-Tec used government authority to claim a segment of land adjacent to the Oak Cliff Zoo in Dallas, on which Campbell's funding was similarly directed towards the construction of Vault 45.
