Italian Air Force Col. Fabio Martin, Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) Italian Air Force Senior National Representative, talks about his experience in the Afghanistan Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) for Operation Allies Refuge (OAR) at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Col. Martin coordinated Italian Air Forces through Kuwait to assist NEO from the CAOC. Operation Allies Refuge was the largest NEO airlift in U.S. history evacuating over 124,000 people in the span of 17 days.
