# Create mission

`POST /missions`

Creates a mission. Body may include siteIds and/or clusterIds. When a cluster ID is provided, all sites in that cluster are included. The server expands cluster IDs into individual sites, creating a SiteVisit for every site and a ClusterVisit for each fully-covered cluster.
