Command And Conquer Gla
The Global Liberation Army is a terrorist organization formed in 21st century, to oppose the hegemony of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China. The hightly decentralized organization incorporated various groups of insurgents, terrorists, self-styled freedom fighters, members of the criminal underground and other supportive people for their cause under the common banner.
Command Center; Base of the GLA, the Command Center trains Workers to build constructions and collect supplies. It will also allow the player to deploy Generals Abilities. Supply Stash; The resources storage, comes with a GLA worker, who automatically starts gathering supplies when the Supply Stash is built. Can also train workers. Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour Strategies come in many forms. Long gone are the old Command and Conquer: Red Alert days of building a couple dozen tanks and just rushing into an opponent's base. While the tank rush is not entirely dead, trying it as a primary strategy is a good way to get defeated in a hurry in a game of Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. Command and Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour is the expansion pack for the computer game Command & Conquer: Generals. Zero Hour added several new abilities and units to each side, and a new mode of.
Founder:
The organization was founded by Mohmar Deathstrike, the current supreme leader of the organization, and a former high ranking officer for the Kazakh Army. He was born in 1967, in a local hospital in the capital city of Astana.
His youth was marked by hard labour and deprivation and he spent what little free time he had in the libraries. The history books he read were full of great leaders who had led their men to victory and beyond. He read about Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Ivan the Terrible. He dreamt of being a leader like them, but he knew he would never have the chance to accomplish this sort of goal. He was just a young boy, sitting in a library, in Kazakhstan, a nation under the jackboot of the Soviet empire.
Mohmar was 16 years old when the Soviet Union fell and Kazakhstan became a free nation. But the collapse of the USSR created a power vacuum which plunged the Central Asian republics into a period of instability. Militia gangs, rebels and insurgents ran rampant and loose all around the country. If it wasn't for the conscripted armed forces the country would become another kind of dictatorship overnight. Little did Mohmar know, he would do just that in years to come.
Two years later in 1993, Mohmar was conscripted into the armed forces, eager to learn the art of warfare. He hoped to become a man of leadership himself, so he could make his parents proud somehow. Mohmar spent three months in a training base before he was tasked with his first mission; his company was send out on a routine search and destroy operation in the east of the country, where a tribal warlord was terrorising the local populace. Initially the mission was a success, and Mohmar was charged with planting the explosive satchel charge which would bring down the cave hideout of the insurgents. Tragically, a communications error led to him detonating the charges while six of his comrades were still inside. Mohmar couldn't do anything but just run, far away.
After trekking the wilderness for several days he wound up at a militia camp. The militiamen were surprisingly friendly and offered Mohmar both supplies and shelter. Mohmar knew he couldn't return to the army because he would face court martial for his failure, something that would not make his parents proud. He wandered the land and lived alongside the militia, whose leader opened young Mohmar's eyes to the machinations of power. It was during this journey when the future leader of the GLA learned that his country, which had only recently freed itself from the yoke of Soviet oppression, would soon become a plaything of corrupt Western interests. The anti-Western rhetorics of the tribal leader tapped straight into Mohmar's romanticised image of historical leaders and became the groundwork for his skewed idea of a pan-Turkic brootherhood that would resist the influence of the foreign manipulators. From that point on, Mohmar would not return to his parents or the Kazakh army, for he had found a new home among the people that he was originally tasked to fight.
Mohmar trained for weeks on end. He studied historical martial arts moves, many different escape techniques and learned a great deal of military tactics. On the firing range, he mastered more than 30 different guns and could hit twenty army helmets 1000 yards away without missing a single shot. He became a mercenary, the best of the best. After spending several years with the militia, he would finally perform a mission that would earn him his name. On the night of March 8, 1996, Mohmar led the assault on a remote military compound. He was stout and strong and his weapon of choice was a vintage Degtyaryov machine gun which he mastered with brutal efficiency. Alongside it, he carried a Kilij, a curved Turkic sword which he had been given to him by the militia leader as a gift for his loyalty and dedication. Mohmar and his group crashed right through the outpost's checkpoint and wiped out any soldier that dared to oppose them while they stole anything of value. The Degtyaryov's custom tooled incendiary rounds eradicated anything in their path and when Mohmar was suddenly ambushed by a soldier with a bayonet, he pulled out his trusty Kilij and slashed his opponent's head off in a single swipe. The rest of the militia gave him a nickname; Deathstrike.
Mohmar continued to serve with the militia for many years. They helped people in need, raided the incompetent police and military forces and executed many terrorist attacks against the Kazakhstan government which, predictably, signed an agreement with the Western imperialists. Mohmar rose through the ranks of the ever increasing movement, and soon found himself at the very top of his own personal army. Now he knew that he could become the great leader, just like the heroes of his youth. Mohmar had a vision in his mind; a revolution that would see the Central Asian republics liberated from the corruption of their leaders, wiped clean of the moral corruption brought in by their Western masters and united under the rule of one leader. Peace and justice was to be delivered with rifle and bullet and the world would finally rest.
Just a mere year after he claimed the title of warlord in the troubled country, the countries of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan merged together to form the Union State of Aldastan, against heavy opposition from the population. Mohmar saw this as a stepping stone towards his goal, and formed the Global Liberation Army, an organization meant to drive both the West and the aspiring People's Republic of China out of the ancestral lands of his people. While the masses of impoverished farmers, workers, tribesmen and patriots picked up arms in the name of Mohmar's cause, a radical Saudi cleric by the name of Abdul bin Yusuuf, whose fanatical Brotherhood of the White Falcon was on the run from a US-backed manhunt through the Middle East, contacted Mohmar with a proposal that would quickly alter the original vision of the GLA: Over the coming years, Yusuuf's warriors would inject the fledging GLA with a degree of zealous fanaticism and searing hatred that would eventually turn them into the single most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world.
After establishing de-facto control over most of Central Asia through the annihilation of the local governments, Mohmar looked eastward at the next target that needed to be subdued if his revolution was to take place; China. Thousands of rebels snuck into China through the unstable region of Xinjiang whose Uyghur population sought independence from the Party government in Beijing for decades. With the help of a rogue PLA brigadier by the name of Ismail Khan, whose underhanded sympathies for Mohmar's vision would not be known to the world until several years later, the GLA managed to get a hold of a tactical nuclear warhead. Mohmar ordered this warhead to be detonated in the middle of Beijing during China's 70th anniversary as a People's Republic. He knew this would put a huge scar in the face of imperialism and help his goal. The War of Liberation had begun.
The War, known in the West as the Global War on Terror, was initially fought all over Central Asia and later spilled into the Middle East, Africa and even Europe. In China, Mohmar and his ingenious allies caused much chaos, including the destruction of the Three Gorges Dam, the Tsing Ma Bridge, the Hong Kong Convention Center and even Beijing's Forbidden City. Mohmar, ruling the GLA behind the shadows, was also behind many other operations outside of China, including the takeover of humanitarian resources in Kazakhstan, the attack on the American forces in Turkey, the extermination of a GLA cell that turned its back on the organization and many other insurrections and assaults. During this time, Anwar Sulayman gained the respect of Deathstrike and was appointed as his second in command by providing the GLA with a steady flow of income and weapons through international arms deals even in times of great hardships.
After several years of fighting in Asia, the GLA managed to seize control of the Baikonur Cosmodrone. Mohmar now had the ace of spades which would make his revolution a possibility. The GLA did their best to poise the cosmodrone while Mohmar arrived to oversee the operation. In 2025 and 2026, the Baikonur Cosmodrone launched two bio-chemical warheads mounted on Russian Soyuz rockets. Yusuuf wanted them launch them New York and Washington DC, but Mohmar knew that the American missile shield would shoot them down long before they'd reach the eastern seaboard. Instead, the missiles where launched at downtown Tel Aviv and the Norwegian city of Narvik, where a US Navy task force was picking up provisions. The American retaliation was swift and brutal and together with the help of Chinese forces they eventually besieged the GLA capital of Akmola, annihilating the heavy GLA presence in the area, but Mohmar was not in the city at the time and ordered yet another launch from Baikonur to hit Northern Europe, but the facily was shortly afterwards infiltrated by the Americans and destroyed with a MOAB.
In 2027, Mohmar narrowly escaped from Kazakhstan after a joint task force of Chinese and American troops had liberated the country. Colonel Francis Thorn of the 1st Special Forces Group personally witnessed the failure of the operation as Mohmar's cadre managed to penetrate the American perimeter and escape with a stolen C-130 cargo plane. While the GLA's supreme leader recovered from the injuries that he had sustained amidst the bombardment, he was shocked to learn that the organization was in chaos and hundreds of splinter cells emerged. Dr. Thrax in particular took a large number of GLA forces to initiate various chemical attacks against the Chinese and American enemies, but this was short-lived as the Americans first attacked his research facilities hidden in Russia and Somalia, then cut off his funds in Iran and finally killed him in his secret hideout before he could launch his toxin-filled rockets. Mohmar slammed his fist on the table and ordered all his loyal commanders to search the entire Middle East for splinter cells, either to absorb them or destroy them. Most prominently, Anwar Sulaymaan, Mohmar's most trusted ally in the Middle Eastern theatre, was ordered to enter Egypt in order to strongarm the treacherous Prince Kassad back into the ranks of the GLA. Any which way, the GLA grew back and gathered tons of equipment for Mohmar's final masterpiece which would secure his eternal place in history: The European insurrection.
With North Africa under the control of pro-GLA governments after a series of bloody revolutions, the GLA set its sights on Germany, the economic heart of the decadent European Union, in order to cause an unfixable split between the Americans and the Europeans. According to Mohmar's plan, the historical notion of 'the West' as a unified entity of capitalism and make-believe democracy would simply cease to exist. Thanks to the regimes in North Africa, the GLA was supplied with container ships and barges that could easily sneak tons of war material into any port.
In 2028, on a cold and chilly morning, the harbor workers in Hamburg were surprised to see an unusually large amount of container ships arrive in port. At the same time, parts of the inner city were in chaos after a series of common day-to-day protests escalated into a full-blown clash between the police and a large group of armed fundamentalists. It seemed like just another day in the Europe of the late 2020s; but as the harbour authorities were about to check the ships, they were suddenly overwhelmed by hundreds of rag-tag soldiers who seized control of Hamburg's vital port facilities and proceeded to unload their cargo: Improvised combat vehicles, crude tanks and even a battery of Scud missiles that had been raided from arsenals around the world over the past decade. After the first wave was out and Hamburg was shaking, Mohmar, and his right-hand man Sulaymaan, stepped out to witness the chaos. 'The world has seen our might, but now, they will experience it.' Mohmar said as he clutched Sulaymaan's shoulder. Within a time span of a few weeks, Mohmar's insurgent forces had wrecked much of Germany's infrastructure and with it the entire European economy. The German Army was undermanned, undersupplied and disorganised and the Americans found themselves in the middle of a hasty retreat after their homeland security had been blatantly compromised by a GLA incursion into California, leaving the heart of Europe to be ravaged by Mohmar's brutal horde. Knowing that the situation could not get any worse, the ineffectual European leadership called upon the Chinese to intervene, which they did: Over the following weeks, the GLA was driven back towards Hamburg, where Mohmar's loyal fellowship prepared for a final stand.
While the fanatical bombmaker Rodall Juhziz, second-in-command of Abdul bin Yusuuf who continued the fight from the Middle East, stayed behind to destroy Hamburg with a strategic nuclear warhead, Mohmar and Sulaymaan boarded a plane bound for North Africa, where they were greeted by thousands of cheering individuals. Mohmar smiled, because he knew he had scarred Europe for a lifetime and the West would never be the same again. Although most of his warriors had perished in what was meant to be the GLA's final blaze of glory, Mohmar was still content, for he would be remembered as the great man that invaded Europe again, Over the following years, the GLA once again fell into obscurity, its fellowship fractured among tin-pot dictators, tribal warlords and mercenary groups.
In 2030, and since over 20 years of the fall of their capital, the GLA set up headquarters in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia taking advantage of the civil wars and uniting all opposers, revolutionaries, local fighters, and local individuals, Mohmar called for the overthrow of all the regimes.
The GLA's rapid expansion and aggression triggered a global conflict with the nations it opposed. GLA leaders did not abide by rules of military conduct and rountinely targeted civilian populations, up to and including terror attacks utilizing weapons of mass destruction.
The GLA began with a financial injection from a number of shadowy wealthy backers, and gained much of its funding hence by raiding resources, such as United Nations foreign aid supplies. They also had ties with the Black Market wich brought them a steady cash flow as well as access to relatively advanced weapons.
The GLA was hightly resourceful, raiding old Soviet weapon dumps and employing ex-Soviet scientists and even scavenging spare parts from the battlefield. While GLA vehicles could not match their more modern counterparts on the battlefield, GLA commanders were hightly devious and unsuspicions, but many American and Chinese generals underestimated them at their peril.
The GLA is known to be hightly decentralized. This is one of the reasons UN attempts at negotiation have failed so miserably. Their leaders are scattered across many countries and divided themselves into different factions. At times, with a skilled and strong leader at the helm, the GLA is capable of operating as a somewhat cohesive entity.With the absence of an effective leader, however, infighting is not uncommon.
Relations between GLA factions is thus a complex web alliances, deals, betrayals and power struggle. When prominent GLA researcher and leader Dr.Thrax was killed, a power struggle ensured between General Mohmar 'Deathstrike' and Prince Kassad. Defections by GLA splinter cells to either the Americans or the Chinese even occured.
The goals and motives of the GLA is to overthrow the current regimes that they refer to as 'apostates' and 'agents of the infidels' and their ideology can be summerized as aggressive pseudo-religious populist anti-imperialism.
The GLA seemingly opposed to anything they deem exploitative, imperialist or immoral, whatever they are. The GLA is opposed to the superpowers having any involvement in the affairs of lesser nations, as they perceive their involvement as neo-colonialist acts. GLA leaders have referred to the Americans and Chinese as 'scourge of humanity', characterizing China as ' The Dragon' and USA as 'Killer Falcon' and even referring to their enemies as the 'infidels'.
Recruitment:
The aspiring freedom fighters and desperate fanatics who made up its ranks often truly beleived they are standing up for the downtrodden peoples of the world, in spite of the fact that they often killed civilians who got in their way. During its existence, the GLA succeeded in inspiring a great fanaticisim among its considerable number of followers, to the point where many were willing to kill themselves for the cause.
Support and Media:
The GLA managed to gain support of many of the world's disenfranchised peoples.Its splinter cells are scattered around the world. In certain areas, the GLA acted as the de facto government. The GLA also used the media to spread their propaganda ARC News is allegedly funded by the GLA or one of their backers, and it is through this channel that the GLA leadership issues official statements.
U.S intellingence traced the origins of the GLA back to the first decade of the 21st century, to the string of terrorist attacks masterminded by several major figures in the Middle East, including Rodall Juhziz And Prince Kassad who would later become leaders of the GLA.
IN 2013, the GLA made major news when they began to infiltrate Western China.There, the GLA began to build popular support for a seccessionist movement. The uneasy confrontation in China exploded into a full-scale conflict when GLA military units suddenly attacked the Yecheng Military Depot. They stole thousands of ammunition before destroying a nearby nuclear reactor, contaminating large areas of China with dangerous levels of radiation, understandably incurring the fury of Chinese government. Insisting on dealing with the GLA themselves, China refused to allow UN monitors into the country or any UN attempt to negotiate witht the GLA. Although the United States provided satellite surveillance of GLA and Chinese troop movements,it refused any further commitment.
Command And Conquer Generals Gla Strategy
Around this time, the true extent of the GLA power became clear. They seized several major cities in Asia, including Baghdad. Their forces also moved into the countryside and operated major terrorist cells in Chinese and American cities. The Chinese leadership's attempts to bolster public confidence was spectacularly derailed when a GLA suicide bomber detonated a low-yield nuclear device in the midst of a military parade in Beijing. This action incurred the enduring wrath of the Chinese, who are now committed to the total destruction of the GLA. The Americans, meanwhile, joined the conflict to secure its own interests in the region around the same time.
The USA and China fought the GLA intensely, on battlefields as far apart as Hong Kong and Adana. All factions involved incurred significant losses; the GLA bore the brunt of the massive firepower at the disposal of US and Chinese generals while striking back as best it could. Initially, the Chinese forces managed to with great difficulty drive the GLA out of China and destroy its main base in Dushanbe, Aldstan. However, the GLA struck back, dislocating Chinese forces in Kazakhstan, even destroying the Incirlik Air Force Base in Turkey. Chinese attempts to turn GLA splinter against each other by sending them nuclear weapons backfired spectacularly when a loyalist force intercepted the nuclear convoy near Lenger. At the end of the GLA offensive, their forces captured Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, from where they were free to launch missiles anywhere in the world.
When one of the biochemical missiles was intercepted by American SDI system mere moments before it hit a major American city, the United States realized the GLA to be a serious threat. The American military was fully committed to the fight. A series of hard-fought battles culminated in the destruction of the GLA HQ in Akmola, Kazakhstan.
The GLA, although much weakened by the American offensive, was still in control of the Baikonur launch facility. When it looks like they were going to be quickly defeated following the destruction of their main base in Akmola, another bio rocket was prepared and launched at an American Naval Base in Europe. Their moment of glory did not last long, as the American launched a second offensive. American forces leveled Baikonur, and proceeded to wipe out what they perceived to be the GLA's leadership Dr.Thrax. However, the GLA soon regrouped once again under a new leader, 'Mohmar 'Deathstrike', and quickly decided to strike back the US, first by destroying their fleet in the Mediterranean, including the aircraft carrier USS Reegan, and then by infiltrating the US mainland and stealing chemical weapons. Appalled by this, United States officials pulled back their military presence in Europe to strenghen homeland defense. Seizing the opportunity to strike, the GLA invaded Europe, taking the main US base in Germany while US forces were still pulling out.
The rest of the world was shocked to see the world's greatest superpower suffer such a defeat. China with its own borders secured and its confidence and vigor higher than ever, entered the picture again. The use of Chinese weaponry against the USA during the GLA campaign in Europe harmed China's reputation and the new Chinese offensive was aimed at restoring that reputation and show the world China is committed to keeping the global peace.With the use of nuclear weaponry, mass numbers and overwhelming firepower, the GLA were defeated in Europe, capturing most of the GLA leaders and reclaiming the US bases in Germany. China, having replaced the humiliated United States as the world's foremost superpower, established the Eurasian Unity League to guard against any future GLA threat. The surviving GLA leaders were tried by the World Court.
The GLA military involved using stealth and speed as their main war tactics,as well as surprise attacks and suicide bombers. They were also known to imploment biological and chemical weaponry, notably anthrax, in their fight against their opponents.
The GLA recruited their troops from mainly angry,desperate,disenfranchised and disillusioned people of the Third World.They can be easily indoctrinated into the GLA cause.There were no shortage of these recruits,and the GLA is able to build up their forces quickly to challenge their militarily-superior foes on the battlefield.The typical GLA infantry is armed with cheap weapons and often have little trainning,although the GLA employed overwhelming numbers and the element of surprise to challenge and defeat their foes.Some were so fanatical as to strap bombs to their own bodies and sacrifice themselves in an attack on any enemy.
A visitor to a typical GLA base if he or she managed to evade an untimely bloody death at the hands of the defenders will find alot of tunnels. The GLA tunnel networks are one of the wonders of modern warfare. It allows GLA units to travel quickly and in comparative safety anywhere where there is a tunnel entrance, and also serve as arms depots and field hospitals. GLA military structures also require no outside power to operate unlike many American, European Union and Chinese structures,meaning the only thing limiting GLA bases are terrain and funds. The GLA recruited civilians to build structures and base defenses and carry supplies for their armies. They are cheap and quickly replaceble if they fall in battle.
Units:
In general, GLA units are cheap and quick to build. However, GLA vehicles often lack the firepower and can scavenge parts from enemy's units for their units.
