Get The Rods Back

Background
With Sheppard away at the United Nations, Solomon gets his orders directly from M.O. Morelli. Within the Belarus border, a convoy carrying a supply of activated pellet rods has been ambushed by Nod forces. These rods are part of the necessary materials to build a nuclear device. To prevent Nod from obtaining one of these devices, the rods must be reobtained.

Forces
With the Brigadier General on leave at the United Nations, Solomon was only authorized to command a small infantry unit, assisted with a Humvee and two APCs. A Chinook would also be sent to pick up the surviving troops from the Nod base once they successfully completed their mission.

The Battle
With so few units at his disposal, Solomon decided to follow a swift approach to obtaining the pellet rods. While he piled his infantry units into the APCs, Solomon sent the Humvee to begin scouting out a path to the Nod base. Once it was located, the vehicles were sent to quickly grab the supply crate, after which the surviving troops were rescued by a Chinook helicopter.

Aftermath
With the pellet rods safely recovered by the GDI forces, Belarus soon found itself completely under GDI control. At the same time, as a result of the mission to Białystok, an area of northeastern Poland was also obtained by the GDI forces.

Nod, however, continued their push into Germany and Ukraine, while completely gaining control of Austria, Romania, and Bulgaria. They also managed to upset control of Greece, although the country remained neutral.
