When a route file is selected, soldier's Sneak Route and Caution Route lists will list the file's route names (both hashed and unhashed). The helicopter can be assigned a route from the file as well.
• The sideop objective type has been moved to the Details page, and separated out to each column. This change will allow users to choose multiple objective types for a single sideop, dependant on the GameObject.
