The Madison Ballet organized an event for Afghan evacuees to watch a performance of 'The Nutcracker' at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Dec. 10, 2021. The dance troupe is set to give two performances each day on Dec. 10 and 11. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan personnel essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Elliot Alagueuzian, 7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment)
