O-Missions is a term for any mission in which a strike team was sent by the Others, E.G.:
An O-Mission is beginning.
What’s an O-Mission
The O-Missions are the equivalent of the Losties' A-Missions. Unlike the A-Missions, the label "O-Missions" is simply a fan name, and was not explicitly referenced in Lost. However, Juliet's O-mission to infiltrate the Losties is actually referenced as an 'operation' ("Operation: Sleeper"). Also unlike the A-Missions, the O-Missions are generally not central to the architecture of the development of the Lost storyline, and may be instead interpreted as reactions in the form of direct responses to the A-Missions.
Originally, participants of an O-mission were just the strike team. The rest of the Others have had a part in the O-Missions one time or another, usually commanded by Ben or another high ranked member.
