The United States is a geo-political entity that continues to exist in a post-Omnic Crisis world. Transcontinental train cars run across the country.[1]

When the Omnic Crisis hit America, the country was willing to try anything to win the war.[2] Consequently, the United States ran the highly classified but widely acknowledged "soldier enhancement program." Controversial, the program utilized pharmaceutical[3] among other means to create "perfect soldiers" blessed with superhuman speed, strength, and agility.[4] Ultimately, politics, mismanagement, and egos left it to Overwatch to finally win the war.[2]

After the theft of a pulse rifle from the abandoned Watchpoint: Grand Mesa, the US conducted efforts to apprehend the intruder.[5] Atlas News reporter Olympia Shaw believed that this intruder was also responsible for previous bombings of corporate offices and financial institutions within the United States.[4]
