The Last Mission – The Last 96, Part 2
This is the second part of a Fox News Digital Originals series about the fall of Kabul and the hectic and heroic 96-hour effort to evacuate Afghans fearing retribution from the Taliban. Part 1
Two veterans groups working to evacuate a few Afghans from Kabul teamed up to help more than 450 people flee Afghanistan.
The ad hoc squads, armed with cellphones and laptops, came together for one last mission to honor a promise to protect the Afghan allies who protected them during the 20-year war on terror.
"We started referring to it as like a digital Dunkirk," Joe Saboe, a former Army captain who used his expertise in the digital space to create a vast volunteer network dubbed "Team America," told Fox News.
Saboe amassed a group of nearly 200 volunteers and established a 24/7 virtual operation center during the weekslong evacuation.
