I would have thought that the region would be a hotbed, with constant skirmishing. After all, the Civgov capitol is in Omaha, Nebraska & the Milgov capitol is in Colorado, just west of there.

I get the sense from Howling Wilderness that there's a sort of unofficial truce between MilGov and CivGov forces. Part of that might be that both sides are so exhausted they can't handle much beyond local civil support/disaster relief missions. There may be more to it than that, though, since MilGov seems up for major offensive operations against some New America cells (Ozarks) and going after the Warlord of Memphis, who seems to have been a tough nut to crack. It seems like most of the MilGov/CivGov fighting amounted to one side withdrawing from the other with just some minor combat (am I forgetting any pitched fights between units loyal to the two sides?).
Anyway -- that's certainly not to say that the frontier between the two sides in the region is peacable and that patrols don't trade shots daily, just that neither side seems to be looking at going hammer and tongs at one another circa 2000.
