Mission: Impossible

Mission Street Puzzles has decided to get involved in global politics! We plan to embark on a series of international missions, which will require cooperation from countries all around the world. Each country will put together a team of 1-4 operators. For any mission where that country is involved, the country will pledge to send its full team, one member at a time, in order from shortest to longest names (there are never ties). The operators’ initials spell out the one-word code name of the mission. Please help us figure out the operators’ nationalities, the code names of the missions, and most importantly the final answer: the location for the final mission.
