Introduction

This site provides you and your noncombatant family members with essential information should you be required to evacuate from Japan and relocate to the United States or a designated Safe Haven. These NONCOMBATANT EVACUATION OPERATIONS, often referred to by the acronym NEO, require advance planning and preparation on the part of all evacuees. Your unit NEO coordinator will be your point of contact in times of crisis or emergency. He will assist you in filling out NEO forms as well as provide training to prepare you for an evacuation.

Reasons to Evacuate


An evacuation could be directed for many reasons. Among these reasons are:

  • Increasing military tensions
  • Natural Disaster (earthquake, typhoon (same for hurricanes)
  • Orderly withdrawal of forces/personnel from overseas locations

In times of crisis or danger, the U. S. Department of State will decide when to evacuate noncombatants. In the event of an evacuation order, installation commanders and individual unit Commanding Officers and OICs are responsible for ensuring that sponsors have prepared their family members to be evacuated/relocated in an efficient and orderly manner.

Notification

All available means of communication will be used to notify you of an impending evacuation. This can include command recalls, public announcements, AFN radio /TV (Eagle 810/Base Information Channel) and Ombudsman phone trees.
