This page includes a transcript of The Pentagon, the second GDI mission of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.[1]
Loading screen[]
The Philadelphia is gone, Reykjavik has been overrun, and Nod forces are now attacking the only remaining GDI world command hub in the Pentagon. If we lose the Pentagon, GDI will be thrown into chaos and the war will be lost. Your mission is to defend this vital installation. The first priority is restoring power to the building defenses and systems so you can repel the main Nod attack. Then you'll need to get an engineer into the Pentagon to reestablish the command and control system links. Your final objective is to counter-attack and drive Nod out of the area.

EVA: Reinforcements have arrived.
A group of Guardian APCs arrive.
APC driver: Good afternoon, sorry we're late. We ran into a little resistance across the river.
- Establishing video uplink...
- James: These APCs are transports, they can carry units inside them. You can load and unload troops just like a garrisoned building by giving a move into them to load the troops, or by clicking the drop-off button and then targeting the ground where you want to unload the troops. Also like garrisoned buildings, most units can fire from inside the transport.
Grenadier squads arrive from the south of the Pentagon.
Rifleman: Our rifle's ain't doing too much to that building sir.
Grenadier: You stick to shooting the infantry. We'll clear out those garrisons!
