Getting to your sniper post is dangerous work. Avoid the spotlights

Hide behind objects when the spotlight gets too close

Phase 2 of the plan involves dropping soldiers on the roof

With all teams in place... things are ready to get done

The team on the roof scales down the side of the building looking for an empty room

Success! You have found a suitable window to crash through
