(Transmissions can be continually heard if the player stays at the spawn point of the level: Russo-American War Radio Chatter)
Private James Ramirez starts in a bunker and pulls out his M4A1 Grenadier w/ Holographic. As he walks through the bunker explosions shake the room and soldiers are seen overlooking electronics and wounded soldiers. If the player notices, a medic is tending to another critically injured soldier on a hospital bed, performing CPR on the injured soldier. If the player stayed long enough, the medic performing CPR can be seen looking at his watch, presumably taking note of the time of death as the soldier remained motionless. A medic is carrying a wounded soldier on his back, there is a conversation between two Rangers.
Ranger: We've got wounded!
Ranger 1: Wounded man coming through!
Ranger 2: Is he alright?
Ranger 1: Yeah, he got hit by a mortar and shot in the foot, but its not too bad.
Ranger 3: He'll be alright, but he needs treatment now.
Ranger 4: I need to rest, man. It's too much up there.
Ranger 5: We all feel the same way man. (Note, This is really hard to hear!)
As Ramirez approaches where Cpl. Dunn is resting against the wall, a barely audible transmission comes in from Overlord to Sgt. Foley:
Overlord: Ensure all weapons are Condition One and get topside to provide support. Casevac birds are taking heavy fire.
Ramirez meets up with Sgt. Foley, Cpl. Dunn and the team at the entrance. A Ranger tosses Dunn his SCAR-H Thermal Sight.
Ranger: On your feet - we're Oscar Mike.
Sgt. Foley: Roger, Two-One Actual out. Listen up! This evac site is getting hit hard and we need to buy 'em some time! Hooah?
Rangers: Hooah!
The team moves out of the bunker through a trench.
Overlord: All callsigns, the LZ is under heavy fire. Uncover enemy positions and engage any potential targets.
As Ramirez comes out of the bunker he sees the damaged Washington Monument, American evac choppers are evacuating wounded while supported by American Apaches. Russian forces occupying various buildings including the Department of Commerce rain gunfire, RPGs, and mortar fire down on U.S. ground forces in Washington D.C. The team heads towards the Department of Commerce. A Javelin missile is seen fired from the top corner of the building and flying down towards an Abrams tank on the street.

Move! Ramirez! Take out those vehicles! The evac site is taking heavy fire! Enemy vehicles are closing in! Take 'em out!
Ramirez and his team grab Javelins and fire on enemy helicopters and BTRs, providing support for the evac site.
Overlord: Hunter Two-One, you've bought the evac site valuable time! Well done! Now get your ass to the roof ASAP...you are in danger of being overrun!
Sgt. Foley: Roger that, we're headed to the rooftop! Everyone, move out! Get to the roof and RV with the SEAL Team! Move! Move!
They begin to evacuate from the crow's nest. A Ranger blows down a door with a shotgun. They head up the stairs. At the second set of stairs, a Russian crashes in from the door and attacks. Ramirez kills him. The team moves around the balcony and climb up the rubble to the roof.
Sgt. Foley: We're out of time! Go!

Sgt. Foley: Take us up! If we're going down, we're takin' those SAM sites with us!
