Communications Equipment Bug
The location for each of the Communications Equipment change with each map and there might be instances where the equipment will be invisible.
To work around this, have your Helo team ping its location and shoot at that location. This should allow you to destroy the communications equipment and pick up the Armored Hard Drive.
As Helo Team
Since the Helo team will be in the helicopter for the entirety of the mission, your focus will be on directing the Demon Dogs to the communications equipment as well as providing them air support.
Turn on your Thermal Vision to ping the communications equipment for your team and to spot enemies better.
