Croatia (GDI mission)

The deployment in Croatia is the first mission in the campaign to take down Temple Prime in the GDI campaign of Tiberium Wars.

Background
Although General Granger considered such a mission to be ill advised, given the number of casualties suffered by GDI during their attempts to attack the Temple, Director Redmond Boyle demanded a decisive victory, both in military and propaganda terms, to show the world that GDI is victorious. The General had no choice but to obey such a drastic pulling of rank and ordered a strike force to be deployed into the area.

The first step to taking out Temple Prime is estabilishing a foothold in the region. GDI still has an old forward base in the area, dating back to the Second Tiberium War, Echo-2. However, attacks on Temple Prime, caused Nod forces to converge on the Balkans, with vicious retaliation against all Initiative forces starting. Echo-2 was hit particularly hard, losing its power plants and construction yard. The Commander is sent to rescue the base and gain the aforementioned foothold in the area.
