The game was originally touted as having a very specific mission assignment and a very scripted 'campaign', which we all hated in SH2. When fans complained about it they delayed the game by six months, tore out the old one and made the new dynamic career mode, to be more like Aces Of The Deep and SH1. I suspect the '24 Hours' order is a holdover from the original plan. And it doesn't say anything about "returning to base", just stay there for the required time; so even if the renown did work you wouldn't have to come home anyway.

I usually stay in my assigned grid for the entire patrol, just because it gives more historical results than running to the known kill areas. SH4, on the other hand, has you stay at a location for a required time and then radio in, at which point you are assigned a new zone, or a new mission.
