You may hire these groups on 2-week tenures. Atomic and Biological weapons usage will end contract immediately, Civil rights atrocities will also terminate contract.

Note that land-based forces require supplies to build a operations base, if one is not supplied. Air Forces require a operational airfield.

Successfully assassinating someone, whether they're low or high-key (low are harder to find, high are better protected), within three hours of entering the country seems unlikely. What methods do these assassins use? How do they find and track their quarry, and what do they generally use to actually complete the hit? Also, shouldn't it be dependent on the population density and general urban layout (and to some extent, culture) of the nation? If I have 7.1 billion individuals in my country, and many live in megalopoleis which have areas that are essentially giant compounds of interconnected skyscrapers and important figures rarely travel to rural areas, how is the quarry as easy to find and kill as someone in a 100 million-population country where camping is popular and all buildings as fewer than five stories tall?

And I would actually really like to know how they operate, in case I want to use them at some point.

Well, the contract is really two weeks to get the hit done, but the hitman/woman will take 3 hours upon entrance, but other agents will get intel, plans, everything necessary. The hit style is up to the employer.

Bump goes the weasel
