Allied Joint Publication (AJP)-3.25, Allied Joint Doctrine for Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (Edition A Version 1) provides North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states with guidance to plan, execute, and assess non-combatant evacuation operations (NEOs).
NEOs are ultimately a state responsibility, but NATO could be asked to support or lead an evacuation operation during a crisis. This publication has been developed for a NATO-led operation and provides guidance to NATO states on how to plan and execute a NEO.
