A mysterious helicopter group took Rick Grimes from "TWD" on season nine.
Since then, we've learned the group is called the Civic Republic Military (CRM).
Tidbits about the CRM have been shared on "Fear TWD" and "TWD: World Beyond."
If you can't keep track of the three "TWD" series, Insider rounds up everything worth knowing about the CRM.
They're seemingly ruthless and are over 200,000 strong.

In 2018, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) was whisked away from "The Walking Dead" in a mystery helicopter marked with three circles.

Who took the leader of AMC's apocalyptic zombie drama away and where was he taken? Two years later (over six on the show after a time jump), fans still know little about Rick's fate and the helicopter group.

First introduced on "TWD" season eight, we eventually learned the mysterious "three rings group" was called the Civic Republic Military, or CRM for short. Since Rick's departure, the military group has popped up throughout the "TWD" universe.

It's been mentioned on spinoff "Fear The Walking Dead" and, now, is one of the focal points of limited series "TWD: World Beyond."

Until we get some concrete answers about Grimes, here's everything we know about the mystery group that's currently at the center of "TWD" universe.

Elizabeth Kublek is one of the group's high-ranking leaders.

The CRM is made up of an alliance of three communities in three cities.

The CRM has an outpost on each coast and in the country's center. AMC

They are based somewhere in New York.

Hope and Iris set out on a journey to find their father in the very large state. AMC

The community is comprised of over 200,000 individuals.

Elizabeth has a daughter in the CRM and we're wondering if it's someone we've already met.

It's possible her daughter could be Isabelle from "Fear TWD."

It would make sense for Isabelle to be connected to Kublek if the universe is trying to make connections between the shows. Ryan Green/AMC

No one enters or leaves the CRM, apparently.

Once you're a part of the CRM, it seems you're a part of the CRM for life. It sounds like a bit of a cult, to be honest. AMC

If you pose a threat to them, they'll take you out.

If you're an unruly soldier, you'll get demoted and sent to a mystery complex.

The CRM isn't roughing it. They've found a way to bring back some comforts of the old world.

The CRM seems to have found a way to get back to some sort of normal way of life in the zombie apocalypse. AMC

They also have an established jail.

Kublek suggests she could go to prison for letting Hope and Iris know their father's location. If only it were that easy. AMC

They have multiple helicopters.

Rick stopped when he heard and saw a helicopter on season eight. AMC

They're seemingly working on a cure for the zombie virus.

The CRM is just housing a number of the undead. AMC

They classify people as "A" or "B."

Are you an "A" or a "B"? AMC

They likely have Heath in addition to Rick (or did at one point).

Heath went missing on season seven, episode six of "TWD," "Swear." Gene Page/AMC
