Area 51

Despite their commander being put out of action, his forces execute his plan like clockwork. While the 17th Mechanized Infantry Division surrounds Area 51, a battalion from the 4th MEB combat drops into the beleaguered pocket. While Aethon fighters sweep in and shoot down the enemy fighters, Falken gunships range over the battle area picking off tanks and armored vehicles. The survivors are then overwhelmed by fresh armored and mechanized units.

The reinforced force in the pocket also launches its counter-attack, and caught between 2 pincers, the enemy breaks and runs. Only a few are able to surrender, however, as the retreating columns are pounced on by the circling gunships. The battle for Area 51 is over. Without pause, 17MID units are soon on their way to secure the rest of Nevada. They have been delayed for just 16 hours.
