  * Chopper skip into the mission, at night time, and equip a sniper rifle.
  * Head to the sniping spot (**highlighted in orange**), kill the target and leave.
  * Return to ACC

====Guard Pathing Manipulation====
You can manipulate the commander's pathing by doing as follows:
  * Go into free roam at **day time** and head to "Da Shago Kallai" (Shago Village), **turn off** the generator and leave the area without being spotted.
  * Go to the mission starting spot and use the phantom cigar until night, then start the mission.
  * Head back to "Da Shago Kallai" and the commander should be walking towards you.
    * You can eliminate him however you see fit. But, this specific strategy is more useful in No Traces/ PSNK runs.
