All special missions have four possible results: total success, success, failure and total failure, if a specific result (usually either total success or total failure) is not listed for a specific mission below, then it is not an achievable result for that mission. The Special Ops Bonus refers to the additional bonus gained from having one or more sergeants assigned to special operations. Some of Kana's dialogue is included to better help you see which outcomes you really got.
