00:00.000 --> 00:02.750
(sirens wailing)

00:04.280 --> 00:06.580
- A neo or a non combative
evacuation operation

00:06.580 --> 00:09.160
is an operation in which
the Department of State

00:09.160 --> 00:11.690
moves their personnel
outside of the country

00:11.690 --> 00:12.910
from which they were posted in.

00:12.910 --> 00:15.430
So, in this instance, the
U.S. Embassy in Zagreb

00:15.430 --> 00:18.040
experienced a earthquake
of the same magnitude

00:18.040 --> 00:19.513
that they had back in 1880s.

00:20.840 --> 00:23.380
The 31st fighter wing was requested

00:23.380 --> 00:24.841
through the U.S. ambassador chain

00:24.841 --> 00:26.530
to participate in this training event

00:26.530 --> 00:27.970
much like they would be in the real world.

00:27.970 --> 00:29.640
Where most of the people
had already been moved

00:29.640 --> 00:31.470
out of the Department of State channels

00:31.470 --> 00:33.820
through civilian means
and then the military

00:33.820 --> 00:36.670
was brought in to assist
and aid in that evacuation

00:36.670 --> 00:38.550
to help close the gap on
any remaining personnel

00:38.550 --> 00:39.991
that were left isolated in the city.

00:39.991 --> 00:42.820
(Helicopter rotors whirring)

00:42.820 --> 00:46.720
For us, the problem set as
a whole was three parts.

00:46.720 --> 00:48.670
To finish evacuating personnel,

00:48.670 --> 00:49.990
to provide medical assistance,

00:49.990 --> 00:51.120
and to rescue the ambassador

00:51.120 --> 00:53.350
and translate all
personnel down to a C-130

00:53.350 --> 00:54.950
that was here out of Mildenhall

00:54.950 --> 00:56.650
and then outside of Croatia as a whole.

00:56.650 --> 00:59.680
(helicopter rotors whirring)

00:59.680 --> 01:01.410
100% team effort here across the board

01:01.410 --> 01:02.570
on the U.S. mil side.

01:02.570 --> 01:04.710
It's really awesome to
have the kind of support

01:04.710 --> 01:06.780
from the country of Croatia

01:06.780 --> 01:09.160
and the United States
government to build inroads

01:09.160 --> 01:11.333
and partnerships that'll
last for generations to come.

01:11.333 --> 01:15.083
