Well I guess that depends on your mission task. If you are to seize and hold ground, then pre-dawn is best (in my opinion) but if you are doing a smash and grab raid then shortly after last light is the best time. Simply meaning, if you need to defend a position against counter attack and tie in guns etc, I'd rather do it in daylight after the sun has come up, and if I wanted to get out as quick as I came in, I'd rather do it in the depth of night.
