How to unlock the Paving the Way achievement in Fallout 3 - Definitive Guide
Now head North-West toward the goal that states you have to destroy 2 fuel tanks, once you get there just plant explosives on the 2 tanks to finish up this part of the quest, after that you’ll get warped back to the room you were briefed in earlier, choose another command set at the terminals and prepare to leave.
Now head up to the Listening Post, be careful though, there are loads more enemies in this area and some will have heavy weapons like rockets, they’re not hard to take out, but it’s easy to die here if you’re not careful. Follow the train track and go through a broken building, you’ll come to a set of stairs, head up them and enter the building.
Once inside just follow the path all the way though killing enemies as you make your way up to the top, when you get up there you’ll clear the quest, get teleported back to the briefing room again and the achievement will pop!

General Chase congratulates you on your success in The Guns of Anchorage. You are promoted and put in charge of your own strike team (formerly led by the now deceased Patterson). The General explains that 3 tasks have to be completed before the assault on the Chinese headquarters, a refinery, can begin. You have to destroy the fuel tanks at the enemy Chimera Depot, clear a Listening Post of all Chinese presence, and disable "their damn Pulse Field". According to Chase, you should not try to disable the Pulse Field before you have completed the other assignments.
Chase then refers you to your intelligence officer for this mission, Lieutenant Morgan, for the details.
I got this from Fallout Wiki
Get debriefed on the mission and then talk to Morgan. He will give you stuff you need for your squad. Now go to the terminals and choose what you want your squad to be. You need to use both terminals before you can leave. Once out head to your right to pick up your guns and ammo. Now head to the North west toward to the goal that says destroy two fuel tanks. Once there plant explosives on 2 of the tanks to finish that part of the quest. After you will be warped back to the mission briefing room. Choose another command set at the terminals and get ready to go. [personally I chose the Fire equipment because it was easier] Once that's done head to the Listening post and be careful there are a ton of guys and a lot of them have rockets so watch out. Once you make your way through the train track and through a broken building you will come to stairs. Climb those stairs and entering the building once inside follow the path all the way through and at the top killing everyone you see. Once at the top you will clear this part of the quest and be taken back to the mission briefing room where the achievement will unlock.

After speaking to General Chase and receiving your orders and field promotion, you will have to select your team and equip them and yourself. You get your equipment by placing a requisition order at the Main Terminal and taking the Holodisk it gives you to the Quartermaster. You can select the make-up of your team from the other terminal and you will get a message afterwards saying they're waiting for you outside. How you setup your team is up to you but I would make sure you have at least one Sniper. If your Speech Level is high enough, you will be able to persuade the Quartermaster to give you a Gauss Rifle and some ammo.
WARNING: The Frame-Rate will plummet to almost nothing on exiting the tent the first 3 times you're sent there so save, exit, reload the game and clear the cache to fix it each time. See the linked advice thread mentioned in the Road Map for how to clear the cache.
Speak to Benjamin then you will be free to tackle the objectives in any order. After you've secured the area, destroyed the Fuel Tanks and captured the Listening Post the quest will end and you will auto-return to General Chase. Three things to watch out for are the tanks in the Fuel Tank area, Snipers (there are loads scattered throughout each of the objective areas) and many Elite Dragoon Soldiers, all equipped with Stealth Suits.
The trophy will pop just after you have returned to General Chase.
