Slide 7 of 19
Notes:
Failure of the Neolesian government to provide a safe haven for the extraction of the Red Cross workers has allowed the crisis to drag on to the point where their situation is increasingly perilous due to the ongoing fighting and the health of several of them. Finally, the ICRC formally asks the USG to use military force to “bring the workers out,” a request that the NCA responds to by directing USCP to prepare a NEO plan.
Pre-planning to this point now allows USCP to move rapidly. CJCS issues an Alert Order directing USCP to prepare for NEO operations, an action that is followed up by USCP issuing his own Alert Order. This directs the Deployable Joint Task Force Augmentation Cell (DJTFAC) to fly to Okinawa to join CTF 76, who flies from Okinawa to the Philippines and embarks aboard the Belleau Wood as the CJTF. At the same time CTF 510 deploys to Darwin in northwestern Astraland to set up a Forward Support Base (FSB) for the pending operation.
