Your goal should be to get enough time (5+ days), that with an Intel boost you can send a full team (6+ soldiers). Lib 2 and Lib 3 are super hard to detect. The second mission is much harder to stealth, and so you will want more time to infiltrate a full team. So Intel gathering is only important for the first 3 steps to Liberation. Once you have completed Lib 3, The Network Tower is automatically available and will not expire. This will give you more time to infiltrate on those missions, which is particularly important for Lib 3, which can be very difficult. Don’t worry about the mechanics too much, just know that you will want more Resistance Personnel in regions you intend to liberate, and you will want to put them all on Intel while trying to find Lib 2 and Lib 3. So you can always find them… But they are incredibly hard to find, requiring a larger pool of intel to be collected, and then a harder luck roll to find them.

The minute a liberation mission expires, it immediately respawns. Excepting that one circumstance, a Liberation mission is always, ALWAYS, available in each and every region you have contacted. On Legend difficulty, Liberation missions are not available until the 2nd month of the campaign.
