Afghanistan evac operations: Airmen experiences
“I’m glad to be here, this is why I joined and I am even looking at extending - but it’s very emotional. We’re seeing kids as young as 15 days old come in that are still nursing. Being a woman and seeing other women in these conditions, trying to take care of their children, it’s tough. There is one child [by himself] who is deaf and obviously doesn’t speak English. The state department is trying to help us mitigate these issues and link them up with their parents. We’re trying to get these kids fed and taken care of and be a voice for them.” – Senior Airman Rachel Akau, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Service members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as other supporting agencies are working 24/7 to support ongoing evacuation operations out of Afghanistan Aug. 19, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. As part of the operation, thousands of qualified evacuees continue to arrive here from Hamid Karzai International Airport, Afghanistan, on board multiple military aircraft.

Afghanistan evac operations: Airmen experiences
“There are a lot of women and kids here and it’s hard knowing what they’ve been through, especially knowing that we will never experience what they have, ourselves. The best we can do is help them through this time and provide what we can. Our shifts are long; I don’t think I’ve worked less than a 12-hour shift but for me this has been very humbling. Living in the U.S., we have a lot of privileges; coming here, you see these people that have only their clothes on their backs and for myself I want to help where I can.” – Airmen 1st Class Konner Meadors, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Service members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as other supporting agencies are working 24/7 to support ongoing evacuation operations out of Afghanistan Aug. 19, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Afghanistan evac operations: Airmen experiences
“I became a doctor because I wanted to help people, but this is a far different experience than anything I have been practicing over many years. I saw a child yesterday and he was saying he had a headache but in talking to him, I discovered he was an orphan. He came here by himself and spent the last two days travelling without any family. So, I put him aside and got the help of the State Department. Since then I’ve taken on the role of providing for these children and have actually used my phone to contact their families so at least their parents know they are O.K. and safe. What we are really doing aside from basic medical care is really providing a sense of psychological safety for these people because they have a lot of anxieties right now. They don’t understand what’s going to happen next and we’re doing our best to try and help them with the resources that we have available.” – Lt. Col. Paul Mariani, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Service members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as other supporting agencies are working 24/7 to support ongoing evacuation operations out of Afghanistan Aug. 19, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Afghanistan evac operations: Airmen experiences
“I never thought I would be a part of history. I've only been here for two weeks. Our job as PAX reps is to get every evacuee manifested and wait for an aircraft to come down that can fit them on and take them to their location. We've been able to move thousands of people in the shortest time we've ever done before. It's been a lot of work but we've had help from a lot of people, allowing it to be a more streamlined process. I'm happy to get the evacuees to a new home, and I want to get them safe. We're trying to do everything we can to get them out. When I see that aircraft take-off full of people, I feel a lot better,” said Airman 1st Class Luke Miller, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing. Service members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as other supporting agencies are working 24/7 to support ongoing evacuation operations out of Afghanistan Aug. 22, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Afghanistan evac operations: Airmen experiences
"I just imagine if I were in their situation, how would l want to be treated? How would my Mom want to be treated? My shop is out here supporting this mission, we volunteered as a unit. We have reprioritized everything except the essential things, to be here and support where we can. It's rewarding and exhausting, but it makes me thankful for what I have, and hearing their stories makes me want to do anything that I can. One day I was playing catch with a little girl, and while we were playing, she wanted to show me something. She pulled up her sleeve and showed me a large scar that took up most of her arm. She told me her school had been bombed. It was heartbreaking. There are so many other stories. I just think if I were ever in this situation with my daughter, I would want someone to take time out and listen to me. I would want someone to be kind to me. My Mom was a refugee back in Vietnam- Vietcong. Growing up and hearing her stories of living her childhood in prison with my Grandfather, is a big part of why I am here every day, through the exhaustion, frustration, and heartbreak. I want to be here. I’m happy to be here," said Staff Sgt. Xena Hoye, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing. Service members of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, as well as other supporting agencies are working 24/7 to support ongoing evacuation operations out of Afghanistan Aug. 22, 2021, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.
