Eliminate or extract the former rebel Mbele soldier

You'll find the soldier at the Bampeve plantation. Use your int-scope to spot him when you arrive. He'll be wearing a black beret and a white t-shirt. Take him out or fulton extract him back to Mother Base.

Eliminate 5 prisoners being held at Kungenga Mine

Make your way to the mine and follow the path inside to the gate at the end to find the prisoners.

Extract child prisoner

You have to carry the injured child to the extraction point while the rest follow you. If one of them dies, the mission is over, so take care making your way to the chopper.

Complete the mission by extracting 5 child soldiers without the enemy discovering their escape

Act quickly to get the children out before anyone notices they're missing and calls for backup.

You're going to pass groups of enemy soldiers on your way out, so either try to sneak past them, or pop the injured boy down while you take care of business, then proceed with the children in tow once the coast is clear. Look out for snipers if you haven't already extracted or eliminated them.

Eliminate the gunship

If you brought a missile launcher with you on this sortie, you can use it to destroy the gunship. Just be aware that engaging with the enemy chopper will raise the alarm and put them on alert status.

Extract 5 snipers from areas near Kungenga Mine, NE and SW Guard Posts

The snipers will make your life difficult if you haven't dealt with them before you liberate the child soldiers as they'll be watching your escape route. Exercise caution when looking for them so you don't get spotted. DD can always help you out here.

Extract 3 armoured vehicles

Scout the road near the mine to locate the vehicles. Try to extract them before your rescue operation so there's less of a chance to be discovered by one of them on patrol when you're leaving the area.
