"As we speak, Marine Corps forces are landing on the southern tip of a Sector D island. Recon shows that in about a half hour, those Marines are going to meet with some pretty stiff resistance in the form of Russian T-72 and T-80 tanks. You are to provide CAS for the Marine ground forces. Be careful in selecting your targets as there will be many friendly tanks mixing it up in close quarters with enemy. Your goal is to assist the Marine ground forces in punching a hole through this enemy armored column. You'll be in the Harrier again, so load up with Mavs. Also, an A-10 team will be flying CAS as well, so keep a watch out for those guys and make sure no air threats jeopardize their mission."

TIP:

Your first priority the first time you sweep through will be to take out enemy SAM, AAA and choppers, or else they will plug you full of lead. Yes there are alot of targets but after a couple of sweeps they should be minimal... most of them will fall to either the A-10s or the M-1s, then all you'll have to do is a little cleanup. Try it again.
