出撃 shouldn't be translated as sortie. Sortie refers to movement of troops from a besieged place to meet attackers, or the flying of an airplane on a combat mission. 出撃 simply means to leave base and go attack, with no other conditions. There isn't a good English equivalent, but it's not sortie. Sortie has strict limits on its usage.
