How to unlock the Apprentice achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide

Once you have your Combat Unit, you can choose any member of it to play as rather than snake, when deploying. Simply do this an complete a mission. Side Ops do not count; I personally did mission #9 Backup, Back Down. Destroy one vehicle and chill for 15 minutes.

WOrth pointing out it has to be an actual story mission, I foolishly tried with a side-op first and got no achievement.

I believe that's pretty clear based off the achievement description though I foolishly did the same thing.
It does say 'mission' and story chapters are called 'missions'.

Does it count when I replay a mission?

I did Mission 30, with air strikes and rocket launcher fun, with a staff member.
(at start of mission, choose-equipment screen, choose a soldier other than Snake.)

Warboy, if I remember rightly it's quite far on in the single player campaign that they unlock.

C2W is the easiest. Deploy right next to the equipment, destroy it and leave. You don't even need to get out of the helicopter. Done in 2 minutes.

Another really easy mission you can do quick is Mission 3. All you need is 4 minutes and a Sniper Rifle. Hope the video helps!

The first mission you can get this trophy on is mission 9 back up, back down. Its a simple mission for the trophy too. After selecting your landing zone your prompted with the mission loadout menu, go to character select and change from snake to anyone else and make sure to equip the grom-11 for this mission to blow up the trucks then start. All you have to do is using the grom11 destroy at least one marked vehicle, if you just want the trophy just destroy 1 and hide until the 15 minute clock runs down or if like me it is your 1st attempt at the mission go for as many targets as you can get... Hope this helps.

Just as a note, it has to be done in Main Ops, Side Ops does not count.

As you extract enemies and gain volunteers, you'll rack up many that are best suited for combat. When you begin a mission, you'll be taken to the deployment screen. Here, you can choose which character to play as. By default, you'll be Big Boss and for a few missions you're forced to be him, but for the vast majority that aren't, you can elect to play as any soldier from Diamond Dog's combat division.

At the deployment screen, select 'Character', then select Big Boss. Here, select any soldier that isn't Big Boss or your avatar. Then, complete the mission with that soldier. The trophy will unlock as soon as you complete the mission.

Once you have built a combat unit platform on Mother Base and have access to your combat units in the character sSelection screen during a pre-mission sortie prep, choose any solider other than Snake you’d like to play as and proceed to complete a main mission with them. It’s important to note that side ops will not count for this achievement. 

You may want to choose a relatively short mission when going for this achievement, such as mission 4, "C2W," or mission 9, "Backup, Back Down." Whatever you decide to choose here, the achievement will unlock once the mission has been successfully completed.

An easy way: Select mission 4 “information war” (don’t forget to destroy the anti-aircraft radar in the previous playthrough of the mission) and select the landing point right at the eastern communication point. We fly and shoot 3 antennas with an aircraft machine gun. This method is convenient and easy to farm heroism.

The side quest will not give you a trophy. Before starting any story mission, you need to choose Snake or any soldier to take your place and complete the mission completely.

I couldn't get a trophy for the character I created at the beginning of the game. I chose another one from the proposed list and at the end of the story mission a trophy appeared.
