That's a good enough description. I'll check the files, but it does sound like one of the two that were worked on for the next version.
As for the patrol, one of the circles has a star inside of it. Go to that location and patrol inside the circle until the star turns grey. It might say "five days", but it might be shorter. Most missions like that though, are over out of the Philippines. When the star turns grey, the objective is completed. You should then receive more orders for another objective, and shortly thereafter, another yellow start should show on the map, most likely inside one of the circles that are already drawn on the NavMap for you. You might have two, three, four or more objectives like that.
