"The Discretionary Masterclass"- Eyes Only DLC Development Diary
When unlocking a mission from the Special Operations Division, think carefully about when and where to deploy it. These powerful programs are far from a done deal, and intelligence indicates that many have at most a 30 60% of success. You literally have only one shot at this, so it had better count.
If you should fail, theres a good chance that the enemy will get wind of it. Hell, even if you pull off the operation perfectly there's still a real risk of being revealed.
A responsible agent will always remember this sobering fact: Every mission performed raises the chance of detection. The silence of the enemy should never be taken as a sign of safety. Analysts predict that the enemy will probably proceed in one of several ways. [olist] They might seek to solve the matter via back-channels, but their love of lies and anarchic antagonism makes this unlikely.
Instead, they'll try to play the victim and create a scandal at the United Nations, or may strike directly at our forces with a cowardly counter-blow.

Consider also that covert missions can be saved for use at the time of your choosing and vitally, can be chained together in ways that are deceptively devastating.

The enemy units will be stopped in their tracks, dazed, and open to a crippling counter-offensive. If we have a leader on-hand in the right region we might even be able to drag them over to the cause of freedom. Either way, we'll catch them completely flat footed. Even if the Soviets create an international incident, they will find their options limited and if the enemy pushes the Doomsday clock to midnight all the better.
