to a security checkpoint during a noncombatant evacuation operation training at Camp Hansen,
Okinawa, Japan on Dec. 18-19, 2024. A NEO is the evacuation of civilians and nonessential military
personnel from danger in an overseas country to a designated safe haven. The 31st MEU, the Marine
Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force, ready to perform a
wide range of military operations as the premiere crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region. (U.S.
