This accepts the upload of a .miz file (up to 8MB) and will alter its use of planes from the A-10C to A-10CII.
This appears to be the same campaign that is included with the A-10C purchase (but only for the A-10C) and modified to replace the A-10C with the A-10CII.

This is a simple introductory flight where you fly over somewhat friendly airspace and are given an introduction to the area.
You'll cold start, take-off, use waypoints and land. You may need to use countermeasures in some situations.
This mission is all about taking out a bridge in enemy territory. Fairly simple, has some ground to air targets that can hit you.
This seems simple, I was able to finish this the first time I tried, but failed repeatedly at subsequent attempts.
This mission is about taking out some Artillery that is coming south. There are a few tanks as well as some Su25s to worry about.
This used to be a paid campaign but has moved to freeware since it is no longer maintained by the original author.

Community Notes
Reported to have a more authentic mission design when compared to The Enemy Within, but its not updated which can lead to issues flying the missions when updates to DCS break compatibility.
Missions that are not working can apparently be fixed via the mission editor. People are trying to maintain it but it seems that it can be pretty buggy at times depending on the patches that come out for the game.

Full scale war scenario, very little learning curve.
This is harder than "The Enemy Within 3.0".
This is shorter than "The Enemy Within 3.0".
The Enemy Within 3.0 is a complete remake of the critically-acclaimed The Enemy Within campaign for the A-10C Warthog.
This story-driven campaign puts you in cockpit of the Warthog as part of a small, 6-ship US detachment sent to Georgia. Your mission is to help contain a growing threat from a terrorist organization calling itself the "Caucasus Liberation Army" (CLA). As the story unfolds, you will be faced with a variety of challenges, including close air support, precision strikes, combat search and rescue, anti-ship strikes, and even air to air combat.
Striving to be as realistic as possible, the units featured in the campaign are based on their real-life counterparts. It also uses a sophisticated radio control system, meaning that you must tune your on-board radios to the correct frequency to hear the more than 2000 custom voiceovers available throughout 21 missions.
Compared to the original campaign, version 3.0 offers following great additions and changes:
20 out of 21 missions have been rewritten from scratch. This includes the course of action, dialogues, briefings and background information.
More than 2/3 of the missions take place in different locations than the original ones, and most feature different challenges and enemies to provide a completely new experience, 3 entirely new missions that are designed to complement and extend the storyline.
The 8 pilot and 3 commander characters featured throughout the campaign have almost 4x more custom voiceovers (over 2100).
Additional documents and custom kneeboard pages are available for each sortie.

This is a hard campaign. You'll make use of the CDU and comms. This is easier than Operation Persian Freedom.
Iron Flag is a training campaign for the A-10C II Tank Killer module. The goal of Iron Flag is to expand on the training missions that come with it and teach you new things not found there. Also, go more in-depth on some of the things that are included with the module and explain some of the tactics and rationale behind employing the A-10 C, its systems, and weapons so that you and your Hog emerge more lethal!
Baltic Dragon and Nicholas Barnwell, authors of the campaign, tried to make Iron Flag as realistic as possible, given the limitations within DCS and their knowledge. They have leaned on real civilian and USAF pilots, including a few A-10 drivers, other subject matter experts, and many within the DCS community to help them bring you the definitive A-10 training experience.
Iron Flag Part 1 is split into 10 Training missions that focus heavily on many of the systems used for flight, navigation, and emergencies, including CDU functionality and usage, TACAN navigation, ILS landing, emergency flight control (MRFCS) usage, TAD/SADL functionality, and everyone's favorite: Aerial Refueling.
Part 1 of the campaign also introduces you to effective employment of the A-10C and its weapons, with missions focusing on DSMS and CMSP systems, TGP usage/functionality, Air-to-Air application of the gun, and AIM-9M and of course using the GAU-8/A in its intended Air-to-Ground role! The combat employment will be covered in more depth in the second part of the campaign.
The campaign features:
10 fully voiced-over missions
Almost 3800 voiceovers (totaling nearly 9 hours of audio)
Custom made maps, briefings, and kneeboards that will help you immerse into the missions and follow the training

Community Notes
Very realistic training, it takes you through all the buttons and menu options including items that you likely will not need to play the game. This is great for a thorough understanding of the plane.
Not the quickest way to learn the plane due to how in-depth it goes into all the systems.
This focuses on the systems, communications and navigation. There are a few tips about combat but its expected that the combat oriented training is part of the second half of this campaign that is not out yet.
This uses the Nevada Test and Training Range Map which is only really used for training missions and is fairly expensive ($50 "USD.)
