Military question help?
Shecky:
For #1: are the soldiers wearing gas masks? If not, gas 'em - light enough dose as not to overwhelm the hostage, but enough to cause uncontrollable coughing/vomiting/etc. Keeps the hostage alive and incapacitates the opposition long and well enough for snipers or up-close knife work. Better a live, weak, puking FORMER hostage than a hostage.
PS: Gas delivery systems aren't all explosive, so there isn't necessarily a risk of a small explosion killing the hostage.
Oh - where are the soldiers? Outside? Right at the entrance? Inside? Mixed?

It sounds silly, but honest to god, most of the other guys who work in my office know when a female sailor has come through within the previous few minutes. My sense of smell is shot, otherwise I'd be in the same camp. For whatever reason, anecdotal information seems to suggest that women use different soap, or that the smell lingers on their skin more.

Are we assuming that the SFnal setting is such that whatever social issue, if this is a social issue, is relevant still applies ? I mean, are an all-female special forces unit in meg_evonne's social context actually going to approach soap in ways that contemporary female sailors do, and is so why ?

For item #1: a flash-bang, or the settings' version of one, could go in first, followed immediately by an incapacitating gas grenade. If the unit comes down the slope via rope, grav belt, whatever, the grenades can be fired/launched into the opening just before the entry team reaches the tunnel mouth.
For item #2: I agree with the comment about scent. Even if she's not wearing perfume, many guys can tell a woman has been in the area recently by the scent. The only way to cover it could be the use of a soap aimed towards guys. Think Gillette instead of Dove.
