Introduction
Female soldiers (or even females in general) are somewhat scarce in MGS V.
They are very rarely to acquire in main missions or as volunteers and only slightly more
common in a few Side Ops. Good thing is, that you can repeat Side Ops - if you know how.

This guide should help you in this regard, and even if you're not interested in the female department, then you should concern that the Side Ops for this process are great for recruiting staff anyways, just because the Wandering Puppets staff will always get a service medal that will boost their stats.

Keep in mind that you have to make significant progress for recruits with formidable stats!
Same thing goes for unlocking the Side Ops that will be needed for this loop in the first place.

Required Side Ops
To repeat Side Op 28 you will need the following Side Ops:

• Side Op 012 - Extract the Highly-Skilled Soldier 02
Available after the completion of Side Ops 05 and 11

• Side Op 028 - Prisoner Extraction 02
Available after the completion of Side Op 27

• Side Op 130 - Eliminate the Wandering Puppets 03
Available after the completion of main mission 038 and Side Op 128

• Side Op 136 - Eliminate the Wandering Puppets 09
Available after the completion of main mission 046 and Side Op 134

Completing main mission 046 means that you have to finish the game.
Without it you should still be able to loop the mission with the remaining Side Ops.
Process of Side Ops
After Side Op 28 you have to go complete the remaining operations in the following order:

• Side Op 012 - Extract the Highly-Skilled Soldier 02

Simple Extraction in 'Da Wialo Kallai'. The Highly-Skilled Soldier always has a companion.
There are more soldiers in the vicinity and you may come across a couple of mines, so be careful.


• Side Op 130 - Eliminate the Wandering Puppets 03

These Wandering Puppets are simple soldiers from 'Da Shago Kallai'.
Be aware of a vehicle with two soldiers that will visit the outpost while undertaking the operation.
If you already unlocked the landing zone directly located at the outpost, use it without hesitation.


• Side Op 136 - Eliminate the Wandering Puppets 09

This Side Op leads us back to 'Da Wialo Kallai'.
Some of the Wandering Puppets encountered in this Side Op are heavily armored.
Take care of a vehicle with two soldiers that will visit the outpost like mentioned before.


• Side Op 028 - Prisoner Extraction 02

Prisoner Extraction from 'Da Shago Kallai'.
It should be enough if you take out some of the patrolling soldiers to slip through their defenses.
Put the stationary soldier under the watchtower to sleep and extract the prisoner.

This process should remain the same for extracting more and more female prisoners.
Detailed cost overview
Depending on your gear and helicopter this process may become expensive.

In my case, there are round about 20.000 GMP for deployment and approx. 60.000 GMP for extraction.

Financial rewards
• Side Op 012 + ..30.000 GMP
• Side Op 028 + ..30.000 GMP
• Side Op 130 + 140.000 GMP
• Side Op 136 + 200.000 GMP

Repeating these missions rewards me with 400.000 GMP, minus 320.000 deployment and
extraction costs. For this personal example there are only 80.000 GMP left for Fulton expenses.

It might be more or less costly for you.
Conclusion
This guide was formerly in german and translated manually into english on 5th August, 2018.
I may or may not enhance this guide over time with pictures and requirements for each Side Op.
