Mission Control
This section in rules(md).ini specifies behavioural characteristics of objects engaged in missions. These mission types are not singleplayer campaign missions or anything like that. A mission in this sense is something like 'Attack', or 'Area Guard' or 'Harvest'. Something that the computer performs automatically.
Most mission behaviour is hardcoded, but a few values can be overridden in each mission's subsection. New missions cannot be added, and conversely you should not remove any mission's section either.
The available missions depend on the game at hand, with Tiberian Dawn having the least and Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge having the most mission types. Most missions have carried over from past games, with the exception being the 'Timed Hunt' mission that only appears in TD.
Available Mission Types
Here are all missions available in each game in the order they are read by the game:
Applicable INI Flags
These tables show all INI flags applicable1 to Mission Control. The flags are grouped by the internal classes the flags are inherited from, and then listed in the order they are read in by the game. You can re-sort the rows by column values by clicking the arrow icons in the column headings. Each flag can be clicked to visit its page for detailed information.
Please note that this section is accurate only for Yuri's Revenge. All other C&C games use different sets of flags.
1 ↑ "Applicable" in this context means "read from the INI files". Certain flags listed here don't have any effect ingame , but they are read and in certain cases cause a crash if not present. Again, refer to each flag's individual page for detailed information.

Notes
Tiberian Dawn doesn't have a rules.ini. All of the game's rules, including mission types, are hardcoded. However, the mission types available in the game are still listed here for reference.
