Mission Briefing
================

"GDI morale sagged when Nod troops unfurled their red banners over the White
 House.  Now you'll turn the tide by retaking this powerful symbol.  Since Nod
 has a staging area nearby, you'll also get a chance to wipe out a large
 stockpile of high-end Nod weapons.  Start with a small force to take out Nod's
 air defenses.  A Firehawk squadron from Langley AFB will turn Nod's parked
 military hardware to burning junk.  Then attack the Nod base right outside the
 White House itself."

Primary Objectives
==================

1)  Destroy the Nod air defenses.

"We have Firehawk attack jets armed and waiting.  You need to destroy Nod's air
 defenses so the Firehawks can make their bombing run.  We also have Ox
 transports with reinforcements standing by for deployment."

2)  Use your Firehawk Airstrike power on Nod's artillery outpost.

"Use your Firehawk Airstrike power to mark the area for our Firehawks to bomb."

3)  Destroy the surrounding Nod base to reclaim the White House.

"Nod forces have set up a base in front of the White House.  Destroy all of
 their production structures to drive them out of this area and take back the
 White House."

4)  Destroy the Disruption Towers around the Nod base.

"Nod is using those Disruption Towers to cloak its base.  Destroy them and that
 should make their base vulnerable to our attacks."

================
Bonus Objectives
================

1)  Suppress the Nod infantry advances by putting Snipers into the designated
    buildings.

"Snipers are extremely effective against infantry.  Garrison them in the
 designated buildings for extra protection while they fire on Nod infantry."

2)  Destroy Nod's Power Plants.

"Commander, Nod appears to have a large number of their Power Plants just
 northwest of the White House.  Destroying these might bring down their
 defenses and leave them more open to our attack."

3)  Destroy the Nod Secret Shrine.

"The Secret Shrine provides the ability to produce stealthed units.  Destroy it
 to prevent Nod stealth attacks."

===========
Walkthrough
===========

Use two missile squads to destroy each of the Nod anti-air nodes on either side
of the Nod outpost (remember - destroying the node itself automatically
destroys all of the modules) to complete the first objective, then use the
Firehawk Airstrike icon in the upper-left corner of your screen to destroy the
Nod stockpile.  Reinforcements will arrive - quickly deploy your MCV and build
a power plant, barracks, and a Tiberium Refinery followed by an armory.  As
soon as you place the Command Post, train two sniper units from your barracks
and send one to each of the buildings highlighted in green on either side of
your base.  Send one of the riflemen squads you got earlier into eah building,
too.

Build and place a Watchtower at the top of your base {GDI Base Defenses} to
defend against infantry, then build a War Factory and a few silos.  Build a
few Predator tanks from the war factory {Predator Battle Tank}, then build a
crane {Crane}.  Train some grenadiers and load them into APCs (six or so of
them will be plenty), then send the APCs and your Predators up the west side of
the map to assault the Nod power plants.

Make sure you use your grenadiers in the APCs to wipe out the garrisoned
structures, then leave the Predators behind at the intersection near the middle
of the map.  Continue towards the powerplants with the APCs and wipe them out
along with everything else in the area, then retreat everything back to your
base.

Move your APCs to the east side of the map, then head north all the way to the
north-east corner.  You'll find a Secret Shrine up there, so destroy it to
accomplish another bonus objective {Nod Stealth Technology}.  The only thing
left to do is assault the main Nod base in front of the White House now, so
send in a big group of Predators with your APCs and slaughter everything.
Your Predators can demolish buildings quickly, and if you keep them moving,
you can crush most of the Nod infantry under their tracks.  When you destroy
all of the Nod Disruption Towers and the rest of their base, the mission will
be over {Nod Base Defenses}.
