Mission Accomplished 2014

September 10, 2014: “This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.

November 11, 2014: The U.S. Embassy in Yemen is reportedly updating its evacuation plans due to increasing violence in the capital of Sana’a.

There are no current plans to close the facility, but defense officials told CNN on Tuesday they are keeping a close eye on the embassy as violence has become "considerably worse" between government forces and Houthi rebels.

"We are poised to act if it becomes necessary to get people out," a defense official told CNN. "If you ask me do I think it's more likely now, the answer is 'yes.' "
