You were in the military, were there units that would have held to civilization longer than others?

Well tighter combat units generally have a high level of unit cohesion and discipline in "difficult" times.... unfortunately the movie doesn't make any references (well that I saw) to the unit the military dudes came from... most likely didn't want to step on any toes. So a special forces or other elite unit most likely would have held together alot better than these guys... and picked a better position to hunker down in too, I mean come on pick an older castle! The countryside is full of them.
Going on from what I saw in the film, and from what I know of military procedure when it comes to "Aid to Civil Authority" (Martial Law) these guys came from a support or reserve unit , as they seemed suprised at the effects of their weaponry (indicating not much pratical experience), in addition to their stores and supplies - easier to obtain in the rear echelon. I'd also hazzard to guess that in the scenario portrayed in the film that eilte or even combat units would have protected themselves more effectively from "infection" and withdrawn to more defensible locations from which to launch future operations (or at least I would have
)
