Summary:
The operation is officially authorized and they come to Tikrit, where the hostages are suspected to be held there only to realize the convoy of hostages to Samarra. However, Kid and Nikov don't come in the same jet, instead sought so sneak beyond the border. Kid and Nikov feel another way: with such leaders of the Iraqi Hezbollah branch like this, they must have trying to capture Ghazi Hamdi first, since Hamdi is less smart among the trio, fits with their new ethics working as lone wolves.
By a systematic torture, Kid and Nikov find out the answer of hostages being held, and they warn it is a trap to set up the SEALs and Saudi Special Forces in Samarra. The Saudi Special Forces and the SEALs, however, fail to notice and they are ambushed. Luckily, none are killed but this ambush gives Kid's skepticism that there is someone who knows about their operation and has lured to the Hezbollah, putting General Abdulrahman to react.

Dammam, Saudi Arabia
King Fahd Air Base
In Saudi timeline, yes. The jet was finally prepared and all the special forces' soldiers from two countries entered. Jack McKirby and Feras Al-Fathi together walked into the cabin of the plane, which was registered as "U.S. Air Force", to remind.
Before going, General Tony DeMerlino and counterpart Abdulrahman Al-Salih made their speeches together. Both would carry seven members of their own, formalizing the squad to 14.
As they walked in, they remembered the words from Tony and Abdulrahman's speeches.
...
"Gentlemen ... we'll do our duty. Saving the victims will be our priorities. It must be done with less bloodshed, and quietly leave as soon as possible. No one is allowed to know that we have come there, in order to protect and create the surprise. Hezbollah is a very notorious group, they're no fool. So if we can be faster than them in one step, we'll have more advantages. Hezbollah has omnipresent of personnel in Iraq, so we need to be careful. Good luck, gentlemen. Operation: Revue, begins."
...
Then, as Tony and Abdulrahman bid goodbye, suddenly Abdulrahman turned into a question: "Wait, where is ... the two American guys?"
"What did you mean?" Tony wondered, until he remembered to Dora-the-Kid and Dora-nikov, who participated in the conference.
"Wait, their ... damn, take the oath for a moment, where're they?" Tony DeMerlino were surprised, as Ziad Chareddi, who didn't go to, marked a story.
"Sirs ... they have gone to Iraq ... by ..."

Karbala, Iraq
Unlike the actions of the army, Kid and Nikov had chosen to depart earlier, they used smuggling to let themselves pass beyond the border of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. They left at 00:10 in the morning, when the moon was still here.
They had successfully persuaded Sergeant Jordan, who had earlier allowed them to move on. Sgt. Jordan was a former aide of Dora-the-Kid in Iraq, now is 35, and he is quite experienced. Touched by the old bondship, Jordan let Kid and Nikov move on.
The Doras' tie expanded to several border guards, who later accepted to allow them in. Kid and Nikov had gone restlessly until they reached Karbala, and it took 10 hours.
