摘要

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and its partners conducted a simulated evacuation of civilians as part of Exercise Southern Katipo 2015 (SK15). The training simulated a Non-combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) and was an opportunity to demonstrate and evaluate the ability to safely evacuate civilians who wish to leave a country as a result of a deteriorating security situation or a natural disaster. The exercise involved more than 2,000 from nine nations.
