This unlocks when you complete the 5th mission - the first in Act II, when you first go toe-to-toe with the PLA.

I struggled with this a bit - especially the bit where you have to hold the defensive lines to cover the retreat of the other Marines - so the tips from the IGN guide linked below may assist:

The suggestion to re-equip your fire team as Scouts (possibly with one as an auto-gunner, equipped with the M249 SAW light machine gun) is a very good one - the AI gunners don't seem quite so useless when give them high accuracy weapons.

It's also a hell of a lot easier if you play through with live squad mates rather than with the pretty idiotic AI - they can heal themselves, rather than you needing to do so, and it saves you having to position your fire team and worry about them getting themselves shot - which they seemed to do for me with monotonous regularity!
