After hearing at the start of the mission that GLA forces have taken over a small US base your job is to recapture it. A small Ranger strike team is made available for the task although this at first appears inadequate.

Firstly, send in your Rangers to take out the Rebels near the entrance of the GLA base and you will receive a group of Humvees that you can use on the Technical close by. After you've made your first move then glance on up the map and you'll see a Barracks heavily guarded with some Technicals and a Stinger Site. They are positioned just outside of the main part of the base. You need to get to the Barracks so take your Humvees up to attack the Technicals and use your Rangers to eliminate the Rebels. Once that is done then use all you have to take out the Stinger Site. This will allow Comanches to fly in an airstrike to take out the GLA vehicles that are inside the fence. At this point you should have a Ranger capture the Barracks so that you can heal your wounded and produce extra troops. With the extra Rangers now available place them into your Humvees in groups of two or three in readiness for the next part of the assault.

Move your Humvees in to attack the large crowd of GLA Rebels. This will allow you to free up the Cold Fusion Reactor that is the power source for your base and clears the route to your Supply Center. As soon as this is done you'll find that you have a Chinook added to your command. Also added are four Crusader tanks.

Now move to the right to liberate the Command Centre and also capture the Construction Dozer positioned slightly south of it. At this stage you'll be notified that the first mission objective has been accomplished and you are in control of the American base.

The next task is to build a War Factory and while waiting for that you should produce some more Rangers to go into the Humvees. Having built the War Factory you can then use it to repair any vehicles that require it.

Now you have to battle with more GLA forces to take out their secret laboratory. With your new resources produce some more Crusader tanks, Humvees and Rangers. You'll come under attack from some Technicals but your Crusaders should deal with them comfortably. Move your Humvees to remove the GLA Rebels up the road which will release five experienced Pilots that you can put into your Crusaders. Now try and scout ahead with a Humvee to find the blockade that guards the bridge and then move in with your full force of Crusaders and Humvees. The Humvees can deal with the Rebels while the Crusaders take on the Stinger Site. Once done an airstrike will arrive to get rid of the units that guard the other side of the bridge.

As you move across the bridge the remaining GLA forces start to scatter in order to occupy nearby buildings and you should prevent this by using your Humvees. A group of Paratroops arrive which provides you with six more Rangers and four Missile Defenders who immediately occupy some nearby structures. The GLA defences should collapse quickly which gets you into the town at which point you should get the infantry out of the buildings and into a structure that overlooks the Supply Dock in the north. Now destroy the nearby Stinger Site and capture the Oil Derricks.

At this point a group of GLA vehicles move to block the entrance of their base but they should not be a problem to deal with if you have properly built up your force. Look out for the two Stinger Sites and two Tunnel Networks. Take out the Stinger Sites then the Tunnels completely before moving on with your main assault. Move your whole force into the GLA base taking out the vehicles first and then the structures. As you proceed with this more infantry will arrive to help out.

Now use your Humvees to clear the infantry guarding GLA facility and you'll find that once a shot hits this building that a force of helicopters will move in to complete the job of destroying it. Be careful to move your own forces back because the buildings demise will cause toxic chemicals to pour out and kill anything in its way.

Mission accomplished!
