The CRM Jump Points, also known as Drop Sites, are locations in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. They are a series of locations across the former United States used by the Civic Republic Military for refueling and resupplying.
Overview[]
Most if not all of the jump points appear to be unmanned and unguarded, although any survivors found at one are killed by the CRM. The locations are marked out on CRM Maps, both a larger kind displaying fuel caches found by Tony Delmado and Percy, and a smaller pocket-sized version typically carried by CRM soldiers.
The most commonly known kind of jump point is fuel caches for CRM helicopters and trucks. Tony and Percy described most of the ones that they found as being just an unmanned and unguarded shack and a landing pad where CRM helicopters would land, refuel, and take off again. One jump point in an abandoned stadium also contained a cabinet full of coded books with a message about a CRM operative and information on more jump point locations.
At least some jump points contained emergency vehicles for use.
Ground 17 acted more as a miniature base for the CRM soldiers using it, although it didn't have much in the way of supplies as the soldiers had to use a nearby fuel drop for refueling. However, the two soldiers had access to a car, although it's unclear if the car was parked at the jump point or one that they had found and got running.
Drop Site Baker contained supplies other than just fuel, including antibiotics and beer.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Following the start of the Trials, the Civic Republic Military established jump points across the former US as supply locations for their helicopters and soldiers.
After finding a crashed CRM truck, Tony Delmado and his nephew Percy found a map on the dead driver which, once they deciphered it, showed the locations of some of the jump points across the country that acted as fuel caches for the CRM which the pair was able to use for their stolen truck.
Season 5: Fear the Walking Dead[]
"The End of Everything"[]
Al and Isabelle travel to a fuel drop in order to refuel Isabelle's helicopter before a Reclamation Team can be dispatched to the area.
"Still Standing"[]
Al returns to the fuel drop with June for the aviation fuel needed to refuel Morgan's Group's Plane. Al finds just enough to barely get the plane back over the mountains.
Season 6: Fear the Walking Dead[]
"Alaska"[]
Having learned that Isabelle is coming to Drop Site Baker on the roof of the Creative Visionaries Agency, Al seeks to reunite with her there. However, Al chooses to warn Isabelle off instead because of the bubonic plague that the Doomsday Cult had spread throughout the building. Isabelle informs Ground Command that Drop Site Baker has been burned and diverts to another location, but not before subtly directing Al to the antibiotics in the CRM's supplies that she needs to treat the disease.
"The Holding"[]
Al discovers a packet of CRM Maps in Derek's belongings which had allowed the Doomsday Cult to target Drop Site Baker. Al takes the maps with her and plans to use them to try to find Isabelle again and warn her of the threat that the CRM poses.
Season 7: Fear the Walking Dead[]
"Reclamation"[]
Al claims to the CRM Reclamation Team looking for Isabelle that Isabelle had given Al her maps and flight plans. Al threatens to start visiting the locations on the maps if the Reclamation Team doesn't make a deal with her.
Later, after Morgan kills the Reclamation Team, Al searches for one of the soldier's maps, muttering to herself about the drop sites that they show and wondering where the soldiers were from.
Season 1: World Beyond[]
"Truth or Dare"[]
Percy and Tony reveal that they had found a map of CRM drop sites across the country on the body of a dead CRM driver. Using the map, the Endlings find a drop site in a nearby stadium which gives the group the fuel that they need to reach the Civic Republic Research Facility as well as a book of encoded messages that they find in a cabinet.
Season 2: World Beyond[]
"Konsekans"[]
After decoding the rest of the books found at the stadium, Iris determines that they give the location of more drop sites that the Endlings can use while crossing the country.
Season 1: The Ones Who Live[]
"Bye"[]
Thorne mentions to Michonne that they need to stop at five different jump points for fuel while crossing the country from the Civic Republic Military Base to Cascadia Forward Operating Base, but it and the long flight is worth it.
"Become"[]
Jadis explains that, having grown suspicious of the crash site at Greenwood, she flew to the nearest jump point, supplied up and took the emergency vehicle parked there back to Greenwood to investigate.
After being wounded by Michonne, Jadis tries to flee to the nearest jump point in Yellowstone National Park, but she is forced off the road by Michonne and Rick. Rick later agrees to send Michonne to get the medical supplies that they need to keep Jadis alive to reach the jump point.
After Jadis' death, Rick and Michonne travel to the jump point and take the CRM helicopter parked there to return to Cascadia Forward Operating Base.
"The Last Time"[]
In a flashback, Rick tells Michonne that they'll get back to the Civic Republic in Jadis' helicopter. Rick will fly them to jump points for the refuels that the CRM won't expect.

Trivia[]
- As seen in the opening credits to The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live and a map shown in The Walking Dead: World Beyond, the CRM have managed to secure at least 40 locations across the continental United States, many of which are likely CRM Jump Points.
- Creative Visionaries Agency, Ground 17, and the CRM Fuel Drop do not seem to be labelled on the map but that could likely be due to fact that Texas has been noted to be a nuclear wasteland.
