======================================
Mission Backround: 
	7/1/96- United Nations officials meet at an un-disclosed
	location to discuss what actions must be taken in response to the 
	war in Bosnia.  A guard, who watches an oddly behaving grounds-keeper  
	sneak into a vent shaft from the outside, quickly alerts the rest of 
	the complex.  The deligates are silently evacuated into un-marked
	vans, and driven away to safety moments before the entire building
	is torn apart by enough C4 to level 2 city blocks.
	
	7/2/96- An immediate investigation is launched to discover how the
	classified location of the conference was leaked to the outside, and
	as to who would do such a thing.
	
	7/5/96- At 1850 Zulu time, a un-authorized user logs into the United
	Nations Global Information Network, and accesses classified documents
	on tactical vehicle specs.  The user logs off before a trace can be 
	completed.

	7/15/96- Using an old GDI ID code and password, three hackers work
	their way into the GDI Tactical Warfare Operations Network, a secure
	satelite up-link center which relays war-time operational plans to 
	all GDI field commanders, and is a direct link to NORAD.  They 
	download the assignments and plans for all GDI strikes aginst NOD and 
	all other terrorist factions across the planet.  Once GDI realizes 
	that the ID and password were from a retired general, they begin a 
	trace.  The call was traced to a pay phone somewhere in Cochabamba.

	7/16/96- All GDI field commanders and computer operators are put on 
	full alert: NO ONE accesses anything above Level 3 security without
	authorization from General Mark Shepard.

	7/20/96- The hackers, now aware that they are being watched, increase 
	their efforts by simutaniously logging onto 10 different servers.  
	Nine of them use viruses and download irrelevant files to throw  
	off computer security, while one lone hacker works his way through 
	the back systems, un-noticed, and downloads all of GDI's files on 
	tactical, nuclear warheads.  Unfortunetly, for the hackers, their 
	increased activity made for an easy trace.  Their home base was 
	found to be a stronghold in the lower Himalayas.

Mission Briefing:
	Commander, when we first learned of the location of the enemies base,
we constucted a small outpost on the out skirts of the region.  It has gone
un-noticed for some time now, and we have learned that this group is calling
itself the Dogs Of War, a group of militant hackers who are tired of all
of the cencoring on the Internet.  A couple of years ago we had a small 
base setup in the area to listen on NOD's trasmissions and to inform us if 
they made any advances into Southern Asia.  We abandoned the area when Kane 
and his temple were discovered and annialated.  
	It seems DOW has captured the old Com. Center there and has been 
using it's old ID codes to access secure military documents on vehicle 
diagrams and nuclear weapons.  Normally this information is safe in the  
databanks of our network of computers, but when the hackers used the old 
Com. Center to access our files, the security programs recognized the 
obsolete codes and let them by without a scratch.  They have not only been 
selling this information to the highest bidder, but using it to arm 
themselves with our technology.  We must not let this go on!  
	We are planning an immediate strike on their stronghold.  To aid us        
in our fight we have requested the assistance of SEAL Team 5.  The Team will
be landing in the area via HALO drop and you will direct their actions to the
goal of eliminating DOW's outer defense perimeter and to locate the old Com.
Center.  Once that is accomplished, a Strike Team will be Helo-dropped to 
your location with an Engineer to capture and DIS-MANTEL the Com. Center to
prevent further on-line incurrsions.  
	At this time 2 MCV's are already en-route to the outpost.  They will
arrive shortly and you are to use them to build up your base and launch a 
strike against the DOW stronghold.  Until they arrive you may use SEAL Team  
5 and the Strike Team to defend your base against DOW counter-attacks.  Make
no mistake, the will attack and hard.  Once they find out that their operation
is ruined, they will strike back with everything in their arsonnal.  
	Note: Their is a blizzard moving through the mountains which will aid
us by blocking their radar long enough to slip the SEAL Team in.  Although
they will be blinded by this storm, we cannot say how it will affect the 
accuracy of the Airdrop, so be ready to hit the ground fighting!  
				OVER AND OUT!

=====================================
THE OTHER STUFF
Known Bugs:     If I try to use a Hovercraft to bring in the reinforcements,
		it either doesn't appear and the units just come off the
		side of the screen, or it goes across the land and crashes 
		the computer.  If anybody has any pointers, contact me!
