QUICK ANSWER
What you need to know
Mission 2's key lesson is triangulation: the coordinates identify the spotters, not the targets. Place the spotters on the tactical map, draw their reported bearings, and fire at the intersection after checking the target location.
Read the two reports together
One report gives observation-asset positions; another gives target bearings relative to those spotters. The information only becomes useful when you use the spotter coordinate as the origin of each bearing line.
If you receive a distance
Switch from a bearing line to the compass/range-circle method. The target lies on the circle, and a second report supplies the intersection needed to reduce the possibilities.
