'''''[[H.A.W.X.''']]'' is an arcade flight combat game and part of the [[Tom Clancy]] brand. The story is set in [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|the near future]] where [[Private Military Contractors]] are recognized as lawful combatants by the fictional Reykjavik Accords.
 
The protagonist is a Captain in the U.S. Air Force named David Crenshaw, who is part of the titular High Altitude Warfare Xperimental Squadron. He begins the game on his last day on the job, supporting covert operations being conducted south of America's border (''[[Ghost Recon]]'' fans should recognize the mission as [[Continuity Nod|being a part of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2's storyline]]). Afterwards, the H.A.W.X. squadron is deactivated and subsequently headhunted, along with Crenshaw, by Artemis Global Security. The team quickly proves themselves to be one of Artemis' most valuable assets and helps secure them a place as one of the richest and most powerful PMCs in the world. Life has never been so good. Right?

== H.A.W.X. contains examples of: ==
* [[Ace Pilot]]: The titular squadron is made up of these, but they're not the only ones. The US Navy and Japanese pilots are also pretty damn good in Operation Typhoon. [[Ace Pilot|Ace pilots]] are also frequent enemies, being more agile than normal [[Mooks]] (Though they still die from the same amount of damage).
* [[Air Force One]]: There's an [[Escort Mission]] involving it after {{spoiler|Artemis betrays the U.S. and launches a full-scale invasion}}, where Crenshaw must escort the President to a secure location, fighting off enemy fighters that try to shoot it down. The mission gets harder toward the end when {{spoiler|Artemis}} brings in radar jammers that make it harder for your aircraft to lock-on and stay locked-on.
