After TSHTF a rescue force can go in and set up food supplies and medical facilities. They then install martial law and stay until the situation is resolved. It may never be resolved enough so that they leave without significant outside pressure and there are few who would be in the position to put that pressure on. It then comes down to who 'rescued' who and who cares enough about the first to face the second.

DUH! that one was a bit envolved SD! i think you lost me there!
