Those who pilot helicopters during an evacuation are members of the Air Force.
Who will man those helicopters? We have a fully trained medical staff from our medical system to perform the medical operations. Having seen the first rotation go through, I can say we have a group of fully trained, highly lethal soldiers who are tactically proficient and able to protect the crews and anybody who might come into them.
We also have an element of armed support provided by escort helicopters. I believe we're at a point where we can overmatch any sort of firepower that is brought to bear on our troops.
We've taken that very seriously, sir, and accounted for the protection of soldiers we've deployed.
