Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) is a 2006 tactical shooter video game developed and published by Ubisoft.

The game places emphasis on using cover effectively in order to stay alive, together with sound strategic co-ordination to successfully complete mission objectives.

Gameplay emphasis in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is placed upon the player doing the bulk of the fighting in each mission, while relying on tactical combat rather than arcade run-and-gun shooting to overcome enemies.

GRAW features numerous firearms, many based on real weapons, including the Heckler & Koch G36, the Beretta M9, and the FN SCAR, in addition to prototypes such as the MR-C.

The game also makes use of various other pieces of equipment, including tanks, helicopters, armored personnel carriers, and remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be used tactically to overcome obstacles, and scout out the environment, in order to complete objectives.

One unique feature of the gameplay is the cross-com system, which is designed to allow indirect control over friendly units, assisting them on a mission (e.g. helicopters, UAV drones, etc.

The cross-com system in this version is more flexible, capable of issuing more controlled commands to individual squad members, as well as plotting out attack routes and battle plans for other friendly units.

In the UK, a special Game of the Year edition was released in late 2006 containing a card enabling the player to obtain all marketplace content for free, including the Chapter 2 download.

Elsewhere in the city, a Ghost team led by Captain Scott Mitchell is deployed to recover Guardrail IX, a American communications disruptor device stolen from a spy plane that was shot down in Nicaragua.

However, a coup d'état suddenly occurs and the NAJSA conference is attacked by militants who kill the Canadian Prime Minister, prompting Ghost commander General Joshua Keating to reroute Mitchell's team to extract Ballantine and Ruiz-Peña.

Stuck in Mexico City, Ballantine and Ruiz-Peña agree to authorize a U.S. military intervention to support the Mexican Armed Forces and restore order.

Mitchell's Ghost team is ordered by Major General Martin to clear a route to Mexico City, where they defeat artillery and anti-air batteries, assault Chapultepec Castle, and secure M1A2 Abrams tanks for the Mexican Army.

Mitchell's team locates and destroys most of Guardrail IX before supporting a joint advance into Zocalo Plaza and rescue Major General Martin from a helicopter crash.

Mitchell's team spearheads the final assault on Palacio Nacional, destroying the last elements of Guardrail IX and capturing General Ontiveros, but Carlos flees with the nuclear football in a stolen Ghost Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk.

As the Ghosts prepare to leave, Barnes confirms a retired U.S. Army general who opposed NAJSA betrayed the U.S. to give Guardrail IX to Ontiveros.
