Operation Allies Refuge, or OAR, was a mission the entire world watched. 

As Afghanistan was plunged into chaos, Air Force Airmen were called upon to evacuate more than 100,000 civilians. Leading that mission was Major Courtney "Voovoo" Vidt. 

Voodoo sat down with Peaches and talks about arguably the biggest air evacuation in the history of the C17 and the United States Air Force. 

Thanks to Voodoo for her service, dedication, and performance in one of American history's most unstable and unsure times.
