Of course my planning outline was flippant, But...
How many of us are left alive? Do we have other friendly forces? How many wounded do we have? What transport do we have left? Where is the enemy coming from? What roads are clear and what bridges are still intact? etc,
How about maybe, just spitballing here, we move our people whilst we are
still in control? Cos sure as sh1t your questions hold good right now!

Edit...
Second, they left the military airbase in the middle of the night last month - instead of using it as a base of operations to get the civilians out.
Third, they pulled out all the military and then moved to get the civilians - which then required them to bring the military back in. What sort of planning is that?
