glad to help
but in the future please use the code...when the mission is open, goto the
options menu and look in the lower right...the GDI is SCG06ea (only one
Commando level)...the NOD is SCB07ec (there are three playable maps here,
but only one is the Orca mission)
============
SCG06ea Czech republic  AKA the Commando Mission
first save early save often

i stopped blowing up all SAM sites (except for the original two, of course)
since 
1) the occupants tend to shoot and weaken my commando
2) they are protected by tanks, buggies, etc

try to get to your helicopter with minimal damage, your health status
should be green. Be sure to point the demo charge in the middle of the SAM
sites.

once you land and disembark in the smoke, go straight north, shoot any
troops you see, but  run PAST the vehicles. (the high powered rifle is no
match for an armored Hum-Vee) take the second east turn (do not go all the
way north)
do not go directly into the compound, but go to the high ground just south
and pick off the sentries and the flamers. then go in

i do not agree with those who say that you should just blow up any
building. If you blow up the airstrip (northeast corner). you skip level 7,
but what fun is that? 

if you blow the refinery (straight east from entrance), it is not available
to NOD on level 7,  (if you do this, PLEASE tell me if it worked). Or take
out the barracks (south of entrance) and it is not available on level 7
Either one makes level 7 alot easier. alot. 

Or if you like the challenge, blow up anything other than the airstrip ,the
refinery or the barracks and go for it.  

Also, if you win level 7, you can build money at the end of level 7 to use
at the begining of level 8, making it easier.Email me for my Dec 1 tip of
the week to see how. (it is tipc&c.txt) .

============================
SCB07ec (right arrow) Central African Republic. is a different mission all
together.  once you get the VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) craft, you
take over the base, then build tanks to take out the gunboat, then use the
VTOL to take out the bazookaman in the northeast village just over the
river.  he will weaken your VTOL, but not before you kill him.  then at you
leasure take out the village buildings and villagers. (this part is very
dull). destroy enough, and you win.

of course, getting the VTOL is tough. i still have difficulty doing this. 
the troops to the west basically take out local GDI, and attack the base as
a diversion.  they draw and weaken the defenses from the east side.  your
troops on the east need to take out the tank, and grenader, then work their
way down. the guard tower may be destroyed (if you have the tank,move it it
first to draw fire, then attack it with everything else), or keep it
occupied (suicide units in front of it as human shields, Iran / Iraq style)
and run the engineers past.  try to get at least three in. one for the VTOL
one for the barracks, one for the refinery when the harvester is docked.
this gives you money to build more engineers to take over the rest of the
base.  the local GDI basically ignore you, except for the guard towers.  
sometimes i can run the western troops into the base by taking out the GDI
southern units/guard tower and blowing a hole thru the fence..then run in
(and sometimes run over with the tank) the units in the camp...again this
is a diversion, but one time i got the tank all the way thru to the eastern
troops!

PS: if the NOD still causes you trouble, go back to level six and pick a
different arrow...both are base building strategies
