He said everyone associated with the mission had a very busy few weeks, trying to get refugees and troops out of Afghanistan and relocating them. His role was to be available 24 hours a day to speak with anyone who needed support. Maj. Scott Ingalsbe, spokesperson for the Nebraska National Guard, said coming back to the U.S. after a mission like the one in Afghanistan can be challenging. “Loading people onto an aircraft evacuating from the Kabul airport to then the next day coming back to home base in the U.S., that’s a pretty dramatic shift,” Ingalsbe said.
