Note: There are 4 Intel Suitcases to be found during this mission.  These can *not* be gotten once you complete the mission, so be sure to grab all 4 of them if you have any interest in getting the Covert Ops Perk at the end of the simulation (which requires you to find all 10 Intel Suitcases).

Make your way over the first few cliffs and familiarize yourself with the surroundings .. and the enemy..

Anchorage Cliffs

Make your way over the cliffs to the east and take out a Chinese Soldier (a second one may come over to aid him).  You can't loot their bodies as the simulation automatcally disposes of them.  Look around for the red [HEALTH DISPENSER] and activate it to fully restore your health.  You will be using these throughout the whole simulation.

Make your way to the ropebridge and kill the Chinese Soldier.  Now rush over the ropebridge and the stairs to come and dispose of the soldier above.  From here you can head SE to find a [HEALTH DISPENSER], [SNIPER RIFLE] and a [FRAG MINE]. The NW Cabin holds a [CHINESE ASSAULT RIFLE], an [AMMO DISPENSER] (which fully recovers your ammo stock for your weapons, mines and grenades excluded), two [FRAG MINES] and two [FRAG GRENADES].

Make your way over the western pipe and climb the catwalk to reach a cold cliff with a [STEALTH BOY].  Continue your mission by heading towards the NW cliffs. As you climb the stairs, grab out your Sniper Rifle and take out the soldier on the upper northern pipe.  Set your ascend forth until you reach the red Cave Outpost door, but beware of the two soldiers on that cliff.

Cave Outpost

Inside, watch a parachutist getting killed by two soldiers.  Avenge him and grab the [GAUSS RIFLE] he left behind.  Explore the SE cavern to find [MICROFUSION CELL x6] (used as ammo for the Gauss Rifle, which Ammo Dispensers don't refill), [FRAG MINE x2], [FRAG GRENADE x2], a [HEALTH DISPENSER] and an [AMMO DISPENSER].

Proceed north, kill a patrolling soldier, head upwards and enter the tunnels. Inside you'll rendevous with Sergeant Benjamin Montgomery.  If you ask him for ammo he'll give you [5.56MM ROUNDS x50], [10MM ROUNDS x60] and most importantly, [MICROFUSION CELL x10].

Back Outside

The cliffs to the north house a few soldiers, but with the help of your sarge you won't have any problems making your way through.  Move over the large pipe and you'll get to a cabin with a [HEALTH DISPENSER].  Behind the Very Easy door is a room in which you can find an [INTEL SUITCASE] under the desk.  Collect all ten of these to get the Covert Ops Perk at the end of the simulation.  Head over more catwalks, kill another soldier and go over the ropeway.  Up ahead are a few more soldiers; after killing them make your way over the long ropeway and kill a few more. The Field Storage chamber (with a Very Easy lock) holds the [GOODBYE HOLOTAPE] and an [INTEL SUITCASE].

Head back outside and make your way through the western walkways, which house an [AMMO DISPENSER].  You don't want to head all the way west towards the bunkers unless you want to get slaughtered.  Instead, head into the Cave Passage.

Kill the soldier, go upstairs and you're outside again, except this time you can approach the bunkers from the side.  The first bunker holds two soldiers but also a well-placed [HEALTH DISPENSER].  The other bunker holds another two soldiers, of whom one uses a flamethrower for a change.

Chinese Artillery Outpost

Head inside Chinese Artillery Outpost and kill two soldiers in the main hall. East of the main hall is a large stack of supplies, but you'll need to take out two more soldiers first. Look around for a [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [SNIPER RIFLE], [FRAG GRENADE x2], [FRAG MINE], [MICROFUSION CELL x4] and [MISSILE x2].

This video shows you how to get one of the more hidden Intel Suitcases.

If you head upstairs, which is essentially an alternative route, you'll encounter three more soldiers.  A [CHINESE ASSAULT RIFLE] can be found behind a flipped table (just for the ammo).  Make your way through the hall and look for a locked door (with a Very Easy lock) just around the corner, which has a little shade over it so it can be difficult to spot.  Inside is an [INTEL SUITCASE], [FRAG GRENADE x2] and a [HOLOTAPE: INVASION].

From the room up ahead, continue north through the hangar and waste a few more soldiers.  Up ahead is another stack of goodies: An [AMMO DISPENSER], [MISSILE x2], [FRAG MINE], [FRAG GRENADE x2], and [MICROFUSION CELL x4].  In the nearby room (Very Easy locked door) you can find another [INTEL SUITCASE], [FRAG GRENADE x2] and the American Artillery Protocol terminal that makes for an interesting read.

Head east and dispose of around six soldiers.  There's also a [HEALTH DISPENSER] and two [FRAG GRENADES] here.  If you want to restock on ammo you can just backtrack a few steps to the Ammo Dispenser.  Make your way through the missile hangar and expect to encounter around 7 soldiers in total.  Head upstairs and unlock the Very Easy door in the hallway up ahead.  In this storage room you can find the [HOLOTAPE: OVERRUN].

Make your way through the hallway and kill a single soldier.  You'll find yet another stock of supplies with a [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [FRAG MINE x2], [MICROFUSION CELL x3], [FRAG GRENADE], and [MISSILE x2].  Make your way to the Missile Hangar and the Sergeant will make a witty comment.

There's not much time to laught, because three Crimson Dragoons with Stealth camouflage are luring in this hangar.  Spot them on your compass and kill them. Go upstairs and find yet another stock of supplies, making this DLC too easy in my humble opinion: [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [FRAG MINE], [MISSILE], [MICROFUSION CELL x5], [FRAG GRENADE x2].  Enter the Artillery Overlook.

Artillery Overlook

Directly to your right is another supply, but soldiers are also on the lure. Find [FRAG GRENADE x2], [MICROFUSION CELL x6] and the standard [HEALTH and AMMO DISPENSERS] near the cliff.  Continue your way south and dispose any soldiers and snipers you come across.  There's even another [HEALTH DISPENSER] for some reason. 

Head upstairs and approach the bunker in which two soldiers reside.  Kill them and loot yet another generous supply consisting of: [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [MISSILE x2], [MICROFUSION CELL x6].  Head outside and plant an Explosive Charge at the Controller of the gun.  Keep your distance and watch it blow after 20 seconds.

That’s one down, two more to go!

Make your way to the second cannon and kill a soldier and Inferno Unit.  Yet another stack is ripe for the taking here: [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [FRAG MINE x2], [MISSILE x2], [FRAG GRENADE x3], [MICROFUSION CELL x5].

Blow the second cannon to smithereens - Loving the explosions.

Make your way to the third cannon and kill the two soldiers in the bunker.  There's, of course, another [HEALTH DISPENSER], [AMMO DISPENSER], [FRAG GRENADE x2] and [MICROFUSION CELL x4].  Set the next charge at the third canon and the mission will succeed.  You are automatically brought to the headquarters.
