Summary

Sgt. Scott G. Campbell, a reconnaissance Marine with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response, unloads luggage from a Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules airplane at Entebbe, Uganda, after safely evacuating U.S. citizens from the U.S. Embassy at Juba, South Sudan, Jan. 3, 2014. A squad-size element of U.S. Marines from Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response successfully evacuated more than 20 personnel from the U.S. Embassy in coordination with the East Africa Response Force, and under the command and control of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. The Marines from Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response are specifically trained for scenarios in which they provide support to a U.S. Embassy in the form of fixed-site security, Embassy reinforcement, support to non-combatant evacuation, and other missions as directed.
