Operation Elevator was a joint Arco-Burgoignesc military operation to evacuate citizens from Arcerion, Nurgundie, Kiravia, The Cape, and Paulastra from Asteria following the 2033 Winnecomac County Crisis. The operation comprised a large contingent from the Arcer Army, as well as a joint air and naval task force comprised of hundreds of helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and a large naval task force under Task Force Asteria. The main land component was centered around 11 Para Brigade of the Arcer Army and the Arcerion Parachute Regiment. It ran concurrently to the joint Urceo-Caphirian evacuation operations in Asteria, but was not a coordinated multinational effort with the Levantine evacuation effort.
Over 1,200 evacuees were airlifted as well as a number of consular and embassy staff from different nations. The evacuation was centered around Arcerion's central role in South Cronan security initiatives, and was conducted under the authority of the Confederate Parliament to protect Arcerion, its citizens, and national security interests abroad. The operation's entirety from planning, execution, to conclusion lasted roughly two weeks, with the rapid deployment of airborne and light forces reinforcing Arcer defense policy updates to be prepared to react to crisis around the globe.
