The overall mission by the Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security provided transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities throughout the United States. Sharma's specific mission was to provide direct moral and cultural support to the refugees. This support was bolstered by her command of multiple languages and regional familiarity.
