When you're sent to a position to patrol, you have to stay within x miles of the marker for x period of time. In the stock game the distance is always between 75 and 150 miles. It doesn't tell you which, so draw a 75mm radius and stay inside. Usually the time is 48 hours but not always. Mission text is bad about giving you the parameters.

So get to the position. Draw a 75 mile radius circle around the point. Stay inside until the star turns gray. When it turns gray you have your $200 for passing GO and can move on to the next mission.

Failure to complete a mission means next mission you are assigned with be the same darned one! Completing missions is the prime strategy of SH4--don't do it and you don't accumulate enough renown to keep your command.
Is it 75? The notes I picked up from somewhere on the site months back are posted above and they seemed to work before I loaded TMO.

TMO is a lot more specific thank goodness.
