1. Obtain Disguise and Enter Base

Start by silently taking out the guard just to your left between the pillars with your crossbow. Then, run quickly between the pillars past the door to also put the second guard to sleep before he sounds the alarm. Next, take care of the third guard patrolling between the cave and the area facing the door. Look toward the door, and if by chance the fourth guard, who moves back and forth between inside and outside, is there, put him to sleep too. Enter the cave and put the 2 guards to sleep, along with the stewardess carrying a uniform in her bag. Pick up and put on the uniform, then enter the building. Once inside the building, go straight left to take the elevator and switch to your fists. Go knock out the 2 civilians and grab the case. "Case" is what Carrington's briefing refers to, but it's really the briefcase you need to equip. Enter through the door between the 2 guards; it will open after the receptionist says you know the way.

2. Check In Equipment

Follow it and go down the escalators facing the corridor. At the bottom you'll see where the case is heading, toward the scanner via the conveyor belt. Given what's inside it, you'll need to move fast.

3. Subvert Security Monitoring System

Take the passage on your right as you watch the suitcase move away, then go past the other escalator to take the passage opposite. Knock out the guard from behind to get his weapon and follow the path (right, then right again). While you're at it, knock out the other guard too, without wasting time. Keep an eye on the timer at the bottom; if it reaches 0 without you having deactivated the console, you'll be spotted. If you have time, put to sleep or kill the 2 people in the room, starting with the armed one at the back. If the timing is too tight, (de)activate the computer and quickly go disarm him before he shoots you, since the K7 Avenger hurts a lot. The objective is a success, but the alarm has gone off, so you'll need to be very careful, since there are many guards and your health can drop fast.

4. Board Air Force One

Careful, the route isn't the same as on "Agent". Go back to the escalator and take the door on the right. Then follow the path and take the elevator. Be careful, there are a lot of guards along the way. I recommend pausing quite a bit before the door, such as at the bottom of the stairs and at the corner before the escalator. While waiting for the elevator, also remember to keep an eye on the corridor, since guards may keep arriving (I recommend entering the elevator backwards). Get out of the elevator quickly when it opens to avoid going back up, and kill the 2 guards right in front of you with a headshot each (surprisingly, the first shot doesn't alert the second guard). Then go left and do the same for the next 2 guards, who are harder to target since they're a bit hidden. Continue along the path, sticking to headshots, without going all the way up the stairs. Kill the guard who comes next and keep going a bit. There are still 3 slightly buggy guards who can be a bit annoying, since they can drop down a level all at once. Try to take them out from a distance. Then follow the path to Air Force One, shooting if necessary.
