Non-combatant evacuation ops (NEOs) have been conducted by Western military contingents being sent into wartorn cities to rescue their citizens and evacuate them to safety either back home or in some other country. The intervening forces (including but not limited to such instances as the US Marines in Saigon and Phnom Penh 1975 during Op FREQUENT WIND/EAGLE PULL, in Monrovia 1990 and 1996, and the Belgian, French and Italian airborne forces in Kigali 1994) are authorised to use force only in self-defence, and do encounter only rare occasions when needing to do so. However, WI any of these NEOs actually did turn into real fighting for the intervention forces involved ?
