How to remove part of URl with .htaccess?

Question

Currently i have 20+ URLs on my site in this formate

http://www.example.net/content/index/mission

I want to remove /content/index from all URLs, so they should look something like this

http://www.example.net/mission

In other words I would to always remove /content/index from the url. I'm sure it's really straight forward, but I'm not very experienced with Apache.

Then do something like this:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^content/index/(.*)$ $1
