Restore GDI Presence Near Salzburg

Background
With United Nations funding still cut, Solomon turned to the EVA for information on the status of the war. In response, he was shown a series of news stories relating to the war.

In the first, it was reported that as a result of the GDI funding cuts, Nod launched a full-scale ground attack in Africa (a direct reference to Tiberian Dawn's Nod campaign). The second clip mentioned that the Global Defense Initiative was denying all claims that they were developing a satellite that could level an army (foreshadowing the later introduction of the GDI Ion Cannon). The third was a report from the World Tiberium Research Center claiming that tiberium was causing massive ecological damage, mentioning as well the poisonous properties of tiberium. Finally, a report was shown claiming that GDI "terrorists" were responsible for the destruction of the St. Olaf's orphanage. This final report was essentially a follow-up to the Białystok Scandal, featuring the same reporter, showing that this was yet another attempt by the Nod propaganda division to disseminate false information to the public.

After these news reports, Kane, the leader of the Brotherhood of Nod managed to take EVA offline to taunt Solomon.

When EVA came back online, Solomon learned that much of the GDI base near Salzburg, Austria was in need of repair, and Nod forces were beginning to threaten the city. After establishing a headquarters in the area, he was to repair the ground weapons, armored vehicles and buildings already there and use these to destroy any Nod troops in the area.

Forces
Already present at the base were an assortment of infantry units, two Humvees, two APCs, two Medium Tanks, two Rocket Launchers, and a Harvester. Because of the lack of a Weapons Depot in the base, no further vehicles could be produced. Therefore, the Repair Facility would be used to keep the existing vehicles from being destroyed.

The Battle
Solomon began by having the various buildings repaired, in particular the Power Plants in order to return the base to working condition. At the same time, he began having the vehicles fixed. Once the Humvees were ready, he sent them out to scout the area while preparing the other troops to defend the base from the initial waves of infantry units and artillery. The Humvees quickly spotted the Nod base and the GDI attack forces were set in position to attack. Engineers were loaded into the APCs to quickly incapacitate important Nod structures, and the attack began. As most of the units distracted and destroyed the Nod defenses, the APCs snuck into the base and unloaded the Engineers, who then proceeded to infiltrate the Nod Refinery, Airstrip, and Hand of Nod, among other buildings. With Nod now completely isolated and unable to bring in any more troops, they were quickly wiped out.
