All missions in America’s Army feature an objective. Completing objectives is the best way to gain points. Some maps feature a single objective, others have multiple objectives. Objectives can be completed by either moving to the specified location, pressing the USE key on an objective, or destroying an objective by using the appropriate weapon. When you have completed the mission by fulfilling the necessary requirements, a “MISSION COMPLETE” message will appear, and the round will end. Below are descriptions of each objective type.

Single objectives

Completing this one objective will result in victory for your team.

Multiple objective

Some missions require the completion of more than one objective. These may require prepping an objective before performing a separate action in order to complete it. For example, the UH-60 Blackhawk on SF CSAR needs to be prepped first, and then destroyed. This counts as two objectives.

Random Objective

Objectives will appear within a set number of locations. Your HUD will let you know where it is, therefore use your HUD SAI. Additionally, random objectives can be used in conjunction with random spawn points, which means you may start on different parts of the map.

Inventory Objectives

These are objectives that you can pick-up. Picking up an objective adds it to your inventory. Usually you must find, pick-up and move this objective to an extraction point. Additionally, you can transfer this objective to another player. To do this, the player holding the objective must press the USE key while facing another player. This is analogous to healing a person when they are a medic.

Non-Playable Character (NPC) Objective

NPCs are characters that are usually scattered throughout a map. Some maps will require you to interact with one of the NPCs.

NOTE: Mission objectives can be any combination of the above descriptions. Therefore one map may involve interrogating an NPC to find an inventory objective, which you must take to an extraction point. The HUD crosshair is your best friend, therefore learn to use it fast and efficiently.
