Briefing:

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

That was quite a shot you pulled off up there. Regrettably, our Intel was bad and it was not General Bogdnanov in the truck but his executive officer. This hit was still a serious blow to the organization but hasn't disrupted the rogue army as we had hoped. This small army has now retreated into the complex and is fortified within its walls. The situation is rapidly deteriorating and both Washington and Moscow fear that this will end up escalating into full blown media frenzy. Both sides are emphasizing that that is a scenario that must be avoided at all costs. We are unsure as to whether or not Bogdnanov has any nuclear warheads yet, however this abandoned missile base is the prime suspect on the list for their location. The world doesn't need these weapons falling into his or anyone else's hands.

We'll be inserting just North of the base. There are a few bunkers located just east of the base that need to be investigated and neutralized if necessary. We will have some Norwegians arriving later to provide support and they're traveling in armored personnel carriers. There are two main bunkers that are known to be manned outposts just outside the entrance of the main complex. These bunkers are suspected to house anti-tank teams and must be eliminated prior to assaulting the base. Norwegian officials have expressed their concern about the safety of their troops. We must ensure their survival to have their continued support.

Once inside the base, locate any intelligence documents and retrieve them. We have been operating without sufficient intelligence for the past few missions and headquarters needs all the help they can on this one. It is also suspected that Bogdnanov still has hostages from the Radar Base and the Ternen. We need to bring them in for debriefing. Finally, we need to press the issue and continue to force Bogdnanov on the defensive. If he is there, he is to be eliminated.

Good Luck!

Cinemas:

There is an insertion cinema of the player platoon descending onto the insertion zone via a UH-60.

Once the mission objectives are completed there is a cinema of the UH-60 returning to extract the player's platoon.

Encounter Areas:

A - Insertion/Extraction Zone in the north western section of the map. 

B - One of the suspected outlying bunkers. It may contain a team with a fixed MG and a fixed grenade launcher.

C - One of the suspected outlying bunkers. It may contain a team with a fixed MG and a fixed grenade launcher.

D - One of the suspected outlying bunkers. It may contain a team with a fixed MG and a fixed grenade launcher.

E - A BMP will be assigned a random  plan to intercept the player based on the initial movements away from the insertion zone. A move to the north will assign a plan to move the BMP to guard the northern approaches.  If the player moves south, the BMP will attempt to intercept the player from the south.

F - A M113 with supporting Norwegian personnel enter at this location on the road.  They move to the western side of the map where they dismount and attempt to engage the enemy by the main entrance.

G - There is a BMP here guarding the main entrance. It will attempt to engage the M113 when it has sight to it. There is also one soldier armed with a RPG that will attempt to destroy the M113 near this complex.  There is another one that will make this same attempt from the center of the map but only on veteran and elite levels.

H - Two Hostages that are guarded by a small force. The size of this force depends on the difficulty level selected.

I - Side entrance to the main complex guarded by a fixed MG and grenade launcher.

J - Northern flanking bunker to the main entrance of the complex.  It contains a fixed MG and grenade launcher.

K - Southern flanking bunker to the main entrance of the complex.  It contains a fixed MG and grenade launcher.

L - Intelligence documents located here. They are guarded by a platoon of soldiers on either flank.

M - Several patrols roam the country side; their size depends on the difficulty level selected.

  1. Investigate outlying bunkers

    There are 3 bunkers in various locations in the middle to eastern section of the map.  One of them will be randomly populated at mission start.  That one needs to be secured by eliminating the enemy guarding it.  The population includes a fixed MG and a grenade launcher.

  2. Secure Main Entrance

    Four things have to be done to complete this objective.  Number one is to destroy the BMP that sits outside the main entrance.  Number two is to eliminate the enemy in the bunker that is on the northern flank. Number three is to eliminate the enemy in the bunker that is on the southern flank.  And finally, the player must enter the main entrance.

  3. Retrieve Intelligence Documents

    Kill the guards in this area and look behind the hammer and sickle to secure the intelligence items located there.

  4. Rescue Hostages

    There are two hostages under guard that must be rescued and brought back to the extraction zone.

  5. Reach the Extraction Zone

    Bring all surviving members and the hostages here to finish the mission..

Note that the 5th objective is not listed but is required to end the mission.

Failure Conditions:

A hostage is killed.

The Norwegian reinforcements are eliminated.

Team member kills the friendly M113.

Team members are all killed before objectives are complete.
