The Bureau XCOM Declassified: Distraction Walkthrough
When you complete few first storyline mission, you get an access to so called Distractions. Carter doesn't take part in that, but he sends his companions (like in Assassin's Creed series). Agent assignment is made via computer in Operations, like in case of normal missions.

Every Distraction has a difficulty level, it decides about how many agents you have to send there to complete mission (and for Carter to obtain a reward). In those operations freshly recruited agents and veterans can take part but if they do, they will be unavailable for Carter's missions. Notice also that advanced heroes are much better than the newbies. For example: if the Mission Complexity is 5, you can fulfill by sending 5 freshly recruited agents or one agent on level 5 (you can also send 2+3 or 2+2+1).

When the mission ends, all agents which were participating in, gain a level. Remember, that the mission will be completed only when a sum of heroes' levels will be equal to the Mission Complexity. Otherwise, the mission will fail and you get nothing in return.
