Another campaign achievement.
There are 27 AU's in total, and you have to activate all of them to complete the campaign mode anyway. They're also bunched into groups of three and when you complete a group, you'll then be able to shoot off and detonate the associated beacon if you want.
This really couldn't be that much easier. Locate the AU on the map, run up to it killing any nearby resistance (there's normally a couple to half a dozen Cel operatives on the platform with the AU) and stand on one of the four switch on the platform until the AU is fully configured (there's a meter in the top right corner of your HUD.) Rinse and repeat for each of the AU's.
Like the beacons, you don't have to worry about causing any damage to the AU, so if you want to go in with explosive weaponry, go for it...
It might be easier to clear out the Cel strongholds in the region first as there's at least one that can be quite risky (lots of grenade launchers and homing missiles), but then if you're wanting an easier life of it, I'd recommend clearing all the Cel strongholds before doing any of the rest of the work anyway!

Not 100% sure on that one. I played through most of this in co-op mode (spent more time dodging my mate's grenades and rockets than worrying about the freaks etc) but there was at least one of the AU's at the beginning that I had no part in activating.
Mind you, I can't remember if I started my solo game before or after I got the achievement, so what PurpleShew is worth taking note of...

*This will unlock with natural story progression*
There are a total of 27 Absorption Units found in Pacific City.
- Hope Springs - 9 Units
- Green Bay - 6 Units
- Unity Heights - 12 Units
Each Beacon has 3 Absorption units. Get to the absorption unit and stand on one of the 4 panels. A progress bar will appear in the upper right hand corner (will say "Configuring.." on screen), and once the bar finishes, you have activated the unit. Do this for each absorption unit as you play through the game.
