History indicates one thing. Combat evacuations are the wave of the future. I don't know if its because policy makers are hesitant to call for a withdrawal because they're afraid that the situation would spiral or if its because intel is behind the power curve on how all this will escalate.Fierce fighting broke out again Monday between Sudan's army and paramilitaries despite the formal extension of a truce, after the United Nations warned the humanitarian situation reached "breaking point".https://t.co/8A7gxGmcDY

One thing is pretty obvious in Sudan.
This thing is going sideways fast.
Which leaves us with a question. What does the Administration and the Pentagon do?
The claim from the State Dept is that only a few Americans are left in country that want to leave. That's a fragile declaration. All it will take is for one foreign reporter to do a report or a YouTube video appear online claiming that they've begged to get out but got no help from the US govt to make that small fig leaf evaporate.
So where is the manual on doing combat evacuations between two warring entities?
Is there one?
Do we have a war plan covering that situation?
