Non-combatant Evacuation Operations

Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (NEOs) are coordinated efforts by military or government agencies to safely evacuate civilians, such as foreign nationals or non-combatants, from areas experiencing conflict, natural disasters, or crises. These operations involve planning, transportation, security, and communication to move people quickly and safely to a secure location. The goal is to protect lives while minimizing risks, often involving coordination with local authorities and organizations. NEOs are crucial during emergencies when conditions make travel dangerous, ensuring vulnerable populations can be evacuated efficiently and securely.
