Use Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to allow your team-mates to advance. You may just hit an enemy if they aren't careful. You'll also slow them down, as they'll need to dodge your fire. Watch out for incoming 203's though. If you have the Squad Automatic Weapon find a good position and fire at possible enemy positions from out of sight. One odd quirk or bug of the America's Army universe is that you see further diagonally than straight ahead, which can be handy for orienting your aim. This trick makes it fairly easy to figure out where to shoot to hit, say, Defense Pillar 2 from out of sight by sighting the tower diagonally and then using your side with | Use Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to allow your team-mates to advance.

#One good post especially early on is to move to the top of the Assault Hill or beyond it toward the cliff. From Assault Hill one can provide suppressive fire from out of sight of defending fire covering that side of the bridge (Assault's right side), the rest of the bridge to some extent, their stairs and attached platform as well as their windows. You'll also be well out of the way of your teammates, lessening the impact of enemy explosives. | #One good post especially early on is to move to the top of the Assault Hill or beyond it toward the cliff.

#Lie prone on the bridge, aim towards the other end of the bridge, and sweep the fire back and forth. | #Lie prone on the bridge, aim towards the other end of the bridge, and sweep the fire back and forth. | ||
#Inside the Assault Tower is a good post too, although the snipers on your side may find it annoying. From the windows, you can suppress the inside of the center tower's arch and the area immediately behind it. You also suppress the center tower top, where snipers like to go, and can fire over it at the windows beyond. If you use the SAW aggressively from out of sight you are protected from any snipers or other troops who are following your tracers home. | #Inside the Assault Tower is a good post too, although the snipers on your side may find it annoying.

# Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to hinder the progress of the assault team. You may just hit an enemy if they aren't careful. Watch out for incoming 203's though. From the South Cliff you can spam the enemy spawn and/or immediately in front of it with bullets. From North Defense Hill you can spam the bridge and both right catwalks, as well as through the center arch at the south pillars and Left Back Arch. From the top of the stairs you can hit the enemy left pillars and catwalk as well as pick off anyone peeking from behind Left Back Arch or on the Left Back Ledge, looking to snipe you. From the windows you can take shots at people standing on the Middle Top, or fire through the arch down onto enemy heads. | # Suppressive Fire: Fire down the bridge to hinder the progress of the assault team.

# On small servers, defense rushing can catch the enemy unprepared leading to an easy victory, since defense spawns closer to the middle tower than assault. However make sure you have your team's support. | # On small servers, defense rushing can catch the enemy unprepared leading to an easy victory, since defense spawns closer to the middle tower than assault.

# If the assault team is winning easily, try hanging back (as a team!) behind the defense tower, there is more D cover than O cover. Doing a backwards bound and overwatch with suppressive fire to fall back can be quite effective at confusing the enemy. | # If the assault team is winning easily, try hanging back (as a team!) behind the defense tower, there is more D cover than O cover.

#Beware leaving the area after the bridge, as even if it looks like the assault is losing, someone can easily sneak along the sides of the bridge and run for the objective without being seen. A single guard right where the bridge ends can easily worn player if someone sneaked by. | #Beware leaving the area after the bridge, as even if it looks like the assault is losing, someone can easily sneak along the sides of the bridge and run for the objective without being seen.
