Phase I:
Operation Allies Welcome

Phase I of Operation Allies Welcome:

Initiated to Manage Sudden Influx of Afghan Refugees at DC Dulles Airport

Our firm, specializing in full-cycle project management and cultural advisory, played a pivotal role in the temporary camp established at a local warehouse/expo center near the airport. This setup served as a transit point before the refugees moved to their subsequent destinations across the United States. Our responsibilities were manifold and crucial for the smooth operation of this initiative.

Key to our involvement was the rapid and accurate processing of over 45,000 Afghan refugees. Given the urgent and sensitive nature of this mission, many refugees arrived without adequate identification, making verification processes complex and demanding. Tangerine Solutions provided essential services including technical translation, interpretation, and cultural orientation, which were vital in navigating the challenges posed by the lack of proper documentation.

Phase I of Operation Allies Welcome:

A Massive Operation Involving Coordination with Multiple Government and Non-Profit Agencies.

Moreover, our team’s expertise in cultural nuances and background knowledge of Afghanistan significantly enhanced the State Department’s capabilities in handling such a diverse group of arrivals. Our staff ensured that families remained united and facilitated effective communication between the refugees and the processing agencies, thus maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the entire operation.

This phase of the operation highlighted Tangerine Solutions’ commitment to delivering sustainable solutions and reliable results in complex, high-stress environments, underscoring our capacity to handle large-scale, sensitive federal projects with professionalism and deep domain expertise.
