Noncombatant Evacuation Operations
5 Feb 07
Blog Entry
Noncombatant evacuation operations are addressed in a new doctrinal publication from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"Noncombatant evacuation operations (NEOs) are conducted to assist the Department of State (DOS) in evacuating US citizens, Department of Defense (DOD) civilian personnel, and designated host nation (HN) and third country nationals whose lives are in danger from locations in a foreign nation to an appropriate safe haven."
As generic doctrine, the 169-page document contains but a single passing reference to Iraq, and does not address the question of U.S. obligations toward Iraqi non-combatants.
See "Noncombatant Evacuation Operations," Joint Publication 3-68, January 22, 2007 (169 pg, 1.75MB .pdf).
