Subject: Action cards that state: Assign a leader. Can you assign another leader?

There are action cards which allow you to search decks to assign a leader to a mission.
If you assign one leader to that mission eg one with 3 influence yellow symbols and THE LEADER IN THE ACTION CARD doesn’t have the requirements, can you THEN assign another leader eg Mon Mothma to that card, so that it qualifies with two leaders to make the requirements.
Same with imperials. If you are assigning someone to a card with an action card in the ASSIGNMENT PHASE, can you then apply another leader who does have the spec ops requirement?
Sub question: can you assign a leader to a mission card that DOES NOT MEET THE MISSION VALUES of any category as long as you assign another that does?
Eg can I use RULE by fear with Emperor Palpatine and Boba Fett?

To clarify:
You can assign any 1 or 2 leaders to a mission.
To reveal a mission in the command phase, you need to meet the requirement of the mission. For example, if the mission is 3 red fist, then the leader(s) combined need to have at least 3 red fists.
This means, you can always assign anyone to anything, but you can only reveal if requirements are met.
The above, in combination with cards in assignment phase.
When you use a leader action card in assignment phase, the phase does not end untill you say it is. So you can go on along with arranging/rearranging your leaders as you see fit.
For example, you can use Leia's leader action card to seek the yoda mission and assign her to it. Then also assign Luke to it.

Does the same rule apply to assigning two leaders if using admiral Ozzle’s action card?
Also can someone clarify why?
My explanation for this being ok is:
1. The cards do not state that you can ONLY use this leader and no others
2. The rules state that combined that the leaders must meet the card’s requirement for whichever category is stated on the card eg 2 spec ops
3. One can also activate a system without moving units there also strengthening a mission and two leaders are allowed so why shouldn’t another tag along if they want to (player) even if that leader adds no value to the mission.
4. One must adhere to the printed rules unless another card states so eg some resolve cards allow you to remove a sabotage marker or place units on a build queue ignoring a sabotage marker being present.
Is the above correct?

Using a leader action card is something else then assigning a leade or leaders to missions.
If you use leias mission you do it with Leia, not with Leia and Luke. After your done you have assigned Leia to a mission. Now Carry on with assignment and you can assign another leader to that mission.
Same for ozzel (project card one). But not with ozzels surprise card. He can only activate and probably attack (in assignment phase) before rebels first turn on hos own. After Carry on with assignment.
2: correct.
3: you can activate any system with a leader. Moving units is options. There can be more reasons to do that. Note that a leader without tactics cannot move units.
4: correct.

- Related/Unrelated question. Once a leader is assigned to a mission, can it be use to oppose (and thus forfeiting "revealing the mission")? I think I've seen this on some 'play through' videos, but the rules doesn't mention it and suggest otherwise.

The Subversion mission is specifically designed to oppose missions.

Here's the excerpt:
QQ: When a mission or action card allows a player to assign a
leader to a mission, can he also assign a second leader to
the mission from his leader pool?
AA: A player may assign a second leader if the ability is used during
the Assignment Phase (for example, the “Our Most Desperate
Hour” action card). If the ability is used during the Command
Phase, the player cannot assign an additional leader at that
time (for example, the “Contingency Plan” mission card).
