Field Manual (FM) 90-29 establishes Army guidance for planning, coordinating, and executing noncombatant evacuation operations (NEOs) under nonemergency conditions. Nonemergency conditions are those in which full mobilization has not been authorized but deployment of combat forces or the use of force may be required to accomplish the mission. The manual provides direction to Army commanders and staffs charged with duties related to these operations. It attempts to harmonize procedures and terminology between the various government agencies that may be involved. It does not duplicate or supplant established doctrine dealing with tactical or strategic operations but provides a specific framework to apply that doctrine.
