Spoiler:
You must remain unseen as well. Don't move your guys - they're already hidden - just hide yourself. You don't need to see or shoot the guards, your guys are going to shoot them by themselves. Do what a squad leader does - back off and let your grunts do their jobs. All you need to do is assign targets, back off until you're hidden, and tell them to Open Fire.
I try that, I don't move anyone. The first few times I'd move up around 4 feet right next to the tree to your right then I'd crouch behind it or prone behind it but lately I've just been proning next to the bush when you start, and some how after anyone takes a shot, the task fails.. Sometimes the AI take out the target in a second, sometimes it takes around 5-6 shots. But how do you get larger scopes for the people so they can more easily take the sniper shots? I know a x4 isn't really good enough for the shots but it's the highest I had when outfitting them.
Watch Jester814 do the mission using VAC - it's pretty fun:
"Squad - formation Line!"
"Squad - get down!"
"Two - Three - Flank Right!"
"Squad - Open Fire!"

As i just played that mission for the first time in my life in Sept. 2017 and searched for help on Steam, it is not necroed for me.
As the point is to have helpful information here, you can cry necro in vain.
Same here, and the mission is bugged. There will still be players trying this for the first time and getting very confused, so it is certainly not necro.
At about the 7th attempt all squads got into the compound, all OPFOR down, and.... nada, the mission just stalls. No truck, no incomming mortar fire, no orders from anywhere to check and clear the base... If I stand still all AI just stop moving. I tried running around and checking containers and watch towers etc. I guess the scripting clearly thinks there is still live OPFOR. And no, I am not using *any* mods for this mission.
I followed *every* tip here, and watched vids, and followed other tips. It does *not* matter when I assign targets, if I move or stand still, use binos or not etc. etc. etc. as the OP says, after the initial shot the Task fails. I also tried modified loadouts, although the script clearly ignores the actual kit being used.
There's a reason why ^this is the first sentence on the Welcome to the Steam Discussions! page.
Thank you for doing it right.

I deleted my comment above, to instead share a more complete guide (walkthrough and tips) for this mission.
I'm having the same problem with the objective failing after I first give the order to fire.
I've tried the tips on the website, as well as the other Tip of keeping out of site, and still nothing. It's kind of irritating me, especially after I struggled completing the previous Mission "Supply Network"..
Maybe I'm missing something compeltely simple here?
Running no Mods, 100% Vanilla Content.
a) The rebel leader will ask your squad to target the two guards... Select a part of your squad and target a first guard; select the rest and target the second guard. Do NOT fire yet. Voilà, the game will print a mission notice about succeeding that initial step.
b) The rebel leader will then ask you to wait for his command to open fire and eliminate both guards quickly (to start a surprise attack).
Once he gives his go-ahead, select your entire team and make them fire.
Both guards will suddenly drop (it is scripted).
Important : you (the player) must not fire until that first phase is done ! Only your squad mates are ordered to fire.
What you must know : this first step has nothing at all to do with gear, weapons, accuracy or anything combat related. They are simple tasks to do following the scripted dialogue.
TIP : do a save game immediately once that is done, to save you the hassle of doing it over and over again :P
I have indeed tried the Tips. The video I posted is me following your instructions, with the same result. Unless I'm doing something wrong, maybe the wrong timing on telling them to open fire, I have no idea.
I've watched many video's as well, and they seem to have no issues at all. So unless I'm doing something wrong, I think there is some kind of bug in play here.
EDIT:
Do you use any AI Mods or any Mods at all? Starting to think that maybe Mods might be why some people are passing this, but others not.
I'm not using any Mods at all, and I have tried countless methods, and they all come to the same conclusion, that I fail the Objective...
We see that you successfully gave the targeting orders.
We then hear you give the Fire order at the right time and all.
Ideas :
a) try setting them to Stealth mode before shooting ;
b) instead of "Open Fire" aka Fire at will (option 1), try using the ordinary "Fire" command (option 3: which means fire only at given target).
Edited b above with proper command names used in-game.
Yes, I have some mods : "C2 - Command & Control", but I don't use C2 for that part. Also "CBA_A3".
AT WORST : it is bugged, but you do not fail the mission as such. The commander is just peaved that it was not the surprise attack he wanted (which is bull).
