NEO exercise tests noncombatant readiness
Senior Airman Elena Storr, 51st Munitions Squadron munitions systems journeyman, screens a noncombatant evacuation operations exercise participant with a metal-detecting wand at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 27, 2013. In the event of an emergency, an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 noncombatants would follow the same steps as a NEO exercise participant to leave the peninsula.
