Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter/Coup d'état

The rebels have become agressive. As stated in the news report and briefing, the Canadian prime minister was killed, and the Vice President of Mexico is requesting assistance.

Reach VIP1's position
You are dropped by helicopter in a small square with two exits. The eastern exit has no enemy coverage, while the western exit will have you immediately encounter hostiles.

The eastern exit, although safer, will require you to engage two patrolling solders in the park north of the square. However, you will still need to cross the line of fire of the solders west of your starting position, but you will at least be able to attack or sneak past them from a more advantageous position.

To reach VIP1, you will need to cross the plaza. There are three possible routes to attack, all of which are on the southern side of the plaza. Likewise, there are three groups of enemies. At most two are located in the north-west corner behind a small sandbag wall. At most four can be found in the central part of the plaza, fortifying the large pole. You can also find three in the eastern section of the plaza, and will run into two soldiers patrolling the southern edge.

When you clear or get half-way through the plaza, an enemy vehicle will drive in from the north. Shoot the gunner, and any additional soldiers that arrive.

Proceed north through the plaza. When you see the advertisement, check the command map for any roof-top snipers that will attack from the east; one or two may be placed to attack.

The limo for VIP1 will require taking out a machinegun emplacement.

Holding at VIP 1
Rebels will begin attacking from the South soon after reaching VIP 1. A safe location is in the north-east corner of the area; this covers one exit, with your teammates making sure that no other entrance will be used by hostiles.

Creating a diversion
To ensure the extraction of both VIPs, you need to draw forces away from the military base; the recommended diversion is a fuel dump to the south.

As you approach the dump through the plaza, a second enemy vehicle will arrive. Take out the enemies before proceeding.

To cause the diversion, shoot the fuel truck parked in the dump. After doing so, you will be approached by several forces; first an armored car will approach from the northwest, a tank will arrive from the eastern street, and additional foot soldiers will follow the path of the armored car. To avoid any casualties, head north and follow the alleyways to the US base; even if you encounter some soldiers, they aren't as dangerous as the vehicle or tank.

VIP 2 and extraction
The carpark containing VIP 2 is under heavy siege by soldiers and rooftop snipers. Try to enter the carpark and make contact with the APC. It will advance, but will stop as soon as heavy armor approaches; the helicopter will arrive allowing you to resupply with anti-armor weaponry.

On the way to the helicopter on the rooftop beware of three snipers on rooftops. They can easily be taken out from the second floor after the other Ghosts spot and mark them.

To reach the helicopter, follow the APC as it moves forward, and take a sharp left turn up the ramp. The exit to the roof is located on the east end of the third floor.

Resupply at the helicopter, and equip the ZEUS-MPAR in the third inventory slot (initially blank). Approach the front of the roof to see the tank. Zoom, and fire the missile once it locks on (you will need to hold down the right mouse button).

VIP2 will head to safety. Once it does so, head to the helicopter to leave the area.
