As for the globals, just play and u will get them soon enough. just remember to play as everything once in a while. Command, squad leader, squad member. dont play lone wolf cause that will give u nothing.
As for the IAR things, always get the time thingys u need to do first. there usually the hardest.

Like:

Do the 3 min first, when ur sure u have them go for the kills and im sure u made some kills in the 3 min already so should be fine. take this approach on all of them

For the air defense, I reccomend being MEC commander on Sharqi Peninsula, then spawning at the south base where the helipad is.  Get into the IGLA, and start artying the hell out of the USMC.  Of course, provide other support to your team as well, but make sure you never let the arty stay recharged for long, unless there are no good targets (use your satellite scan liberally, and always right before an arty strike to locate an opportune target).

Sorry, I must have mis-explained myself.
My question wasn't what's the most convinient thing to start with, but what technically I should accomplish first.

And thanks for the tips.
And yeah, I know how commanding handles.
But what you're saying is your kills with arty count? i dont think so...

waiting for your answer for this and answers for the technical question.

thanks

Kills with arty will count towards ribbons.  I didn't think they would since they do not show on the score board during the game, but I recieved my ground defense ribbon while MEC commander on karkand 64 player map. I spawned the armor base and sat on a TOW while in commander mode.  After 2 atry strikes I recieved the ribbon.

As far as Air Defense ribbon you need to find a map that has mobile AA and use it to get the ribbon.  For some reason using a stinger would never give me even the basic badge, but as soon as I used mobile AA I got both the badge and ribbon in the same round.

Hey thanks!
It wasn't my question, but I have already asked that before, and nobody really gave me the answer!
I'm gonna do it now again, with total knowing that it will give me the ribbon.
If you can answer what I'm asking here, please do it.
