I imagine they're officially sent in some "diplomatic" capacity.

Anne Sacoolas (the woman who mowed down a British teenager with her car, but escaped because she had diplomatic immunity) turned out to be a senior CIA spy.

When these things done right you won't hear about it.

Pardon?

It's a response to the "puny" part of your statement. Anzac special forces are renown for their brutal effectiveness (and frequent disregard for the rules of war[1])
