The Second Battle of Baikonur was a battle during the War against GLA at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

Background
The GLA had captured the Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan after the Battle of Baikonur, and from there had launched bio-chemical ICBMs at major cities. As GLA forces retreated on all fronts due to the recent American onslaught, the remnants of the GLA forces in Kazakhstan converged on Baikonur Cosmosdrome. A Chinese taskforce sent to destroy their presence underestimated the strength of the enemy and was wiped out. Following this victory, the GLA prepared another bio-chemical rocket, this time attacking a US Naval Base in northern Europe, in which many US ground forces were destroyed along with several high ranking officers killed. An American force was sent in to destroy the rocket facility before the GLA can ready a second launch.

The Battle
The Americans set up a forward base to the east of the GLA-controlled launch facility and travelled north with Crusader Tank divisions. After eradicating Stinger sites en route, and reclaiming abandoned Chinese equipments at a nearby facility, the American forces eliminate the light GLA resistance in the railway yard to the north. The Americans hijacked a GLA train carrying the rocket to the launch facility, loading it up with friendly troops.

As the train came to a stop in the facility, American forces poured out of the train and quickly made short work of the GLA resistance. A MOAB bomber then flew in to destroy the launch facility.
