Background information and notes Edit

• Phoenix is only seen on screen and not mentioned. For Las Vegas, Denver, and Phoenix, it is not stated explicitly that a Domestic CTU Unit found the vials of the virus (these could have been the FBI or other law agencies working in tandem with CTU). However, since these are large U.S. cities, it makes sense that each would have a domestic unit.
• A note on the following: CTU Denver, CTU Las Vegas, CTU Phoenix, CTU Seattle. During "Day 3: 11:00am-12:00pm," CTU Los Angeles coordinated with numerous other law enforcement agencies to bring down the bio-terrorism ring of Stephen Saunders by capturing and killing his Cordilla virus couriers. It was not explicitly stated that these operations were carried out by CTU TAC teams (these actions could have been carried out by police SWAT teams, FBI agents, or other groups working in tandem with CTU).
