Do this through boosting.
1) Have your opponent capture enough uplinks so they are one short of what they need.
2) Keep spawning gunships until you have the maximum. These are just in case.
3) Have them send one engineer to the last uplink, and evacuate every other unit except a gunship.
4) When all they have left are an engineer and a gunship, have them capture the last uplink, then immediately evacuate the engineer. That will start the 5-minute timer.
5) Have them send their gunship to the corner where they evacuate from. You send your gunship fleet into the center of the map.
6) When the timer reaches 1:00, send your gunships to attack the last enemy.
7) When the timer reaches 0:40, have their gunship evacuate. (You may not actually catch them... your gunships are there to attack in case they don't make it off in time.)
8) They should evacuate in time for the 10-second Hostile Annihilation counter to start. Let the counter run and the achievement should pop. |

I got this achievement with help from a friend, who suggested the following strategy that he and I are willing to share with all of you gamers:
1) Set up a private skirmish match with a friend thusly: 1 vs 1, Conquest, Shennendoah Valley.
2) Before you start the mission, have the player NOT getting the achievement select nothing but rifleman as his three starter units; riflemen are quicker to secure uplinks. He/She will NOT spawn anything else afterwards. The player going for this achievement should have 2 infantry units at least.
3) The player going for the achievement (Player 1) should secure at least 2 uplinks (Zulu and Whiskey if playing as the attacker, Alpha and Bravo if playing the defender); upgrade both locations to get air support, just in case. The other player (Player 2) should secure all the other uplinks on the map to trigger DEFCON, and then move all his units to one location (we used Yankee). Be sure to have all 3 units as close together as possible.
4) Once all of the enemy units are at Yankee, just wait out the timer until it reaches 30 seconds, and then have Player 1 quickly order a WMD strike on Yankee. That should kill off all of Player 2's units and trigger the annihilation countdown.
NOTE: You can use this method to also go for the Turning Point achievement, which requires a player to win a Conquest match after the enemy has triggered DEFCON. Just follow the directions, and when the match is over, you'll get both these achievements. Also, while attempting this trick for my friend who played with me, he got the Untouchable achievement, which is to win a skirmish mission and lose no health.

| Easiest way is to set up a match with a friend, conquest of course and trigger the countdown by capturing the uplinks, then let your friend wipe out your army whilst in countdown. Easy. Rinse and Repeat for the other guy |

| I just held my army in defense of one air strike upgraded uplink. Then I just attacked my enemy with air strikes and artillery. I didn't kill them too fast and once the countdown was at about 45 sec I sent my army to attack. The enemy died within 30 sec |
