My plan:
Personnel/Assets:
Three man team including an Air Force Combat Controller, one sniper and one spotter.
1 indigenous infantry company
2 strike fighters
1 utility helicopter
A few trucks

Key equipment: 1 week's rations, GPS (der!), pretty darn accurate map, sniper rifle (whatever the sniper team uses) with light amplification scope, binoculars, radio, Passive NVGs, Thermal NVGs.

Insertion method: Overland by truck. Approach from south east, away from LOS of enemy camp. Best day for approach is a night with high winds but no rain (minimal acoustical transfer and no mud for the truck to get bogged down in). This will be the day for final approach. Truck will offload team 5 kilometers from target area. This will be achieved by 0200 Hours. Team will proceed on foot for 3 1/2 kilometers to set up in a wooded area with a good line of sight of the village.

Phase 1: Observation. (Day 1 to day 7)
Sniper team will observe with Combat Controller the exact whereabouts of the enemy units and the supposed staging area. They will collect whatever data as possible such as where exactly the civilians live and the bad guys live.
Phase 2: Infantry. (Day 3)
A company strength unit of local infantry will be slated to conduct a reconnaissance in force by attempting to attack the compound. They will be told this is a full assault. This attack will be detected by the rebels who will attempt to assemble and counter the threat. This will give away the location of their staging area. As the enemy force approaches the advancing mercenary company, a strike fighter will fly a "reconnaissance" flight over or near the enemy force and the indigenous forces will be called back. The reaction time will be measured exactly.
Combat Controller will relay the GPS coordinates of the staging area and other key areas of importance to command who will then in turn relay the coordinates to the strike fighter wing.
Phase 3: The strike (day 5, 6 or 7)
When the weather permits helicopter operations, the following will take place:
The indigenous infantry company will load up on trucks and prepare to assault the enemy position again, this time at 0400 Hours. At the same time, strike fighters will take to the air. They will fly dark and will fly very high. The first jet will be loaded with JDAMs and the next will be armed with cluster bombs. As the enemy assembles to counter the incoming unit, the Combat Controller will guide in and time the birds to their target. The first will drop a JDAM on the assembly area when activity there is at an all time high and the second bird will swoop down and hit the area with cluster bombs to clean out survivors in the staging area.
Infantry company will continue their advance and secure the area.
Assuming that the infantry company will actually get there in about 2 hours, that's 0600 Hours, observation team will provide sniper cover and take out targets of opportunity but only when the infantry company arrives. Or else the survivor's attention will be drawn to the observation group and they will be anhilated by the enemy's renowned snipers.
0630 Hours sniper and combat controller will extract and rendevous with utility helicopter.
If by day 6 no suitable helicopter weather is available, a fruit truck will dispatch as observation team's extraction and on day 7, the plan will be identical except that the team will extract via fruit truck.

If indigenous infantry forces are not available, mercenary units can be used instead.
