Evacuation Operations in Sudan: US Military Rescues Personnel in Daring Mission.

The British government has evacuated diplomats and their families from Sudan, in a swift operation that saw staff and their families flown out of the country on Sunday. Military personnel constantly rehearse and fine-tune these types of operations, with Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office staff also regularly visiting British embassies around the world to discuss their evacuation plans. Countries will often work together in what's known as a non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) co-ordination group to execute an evacuation together.
