A company of the Royal Gurkha Rifles was initially deployed to neighbouring Ghana, Royal Air Force transport aircraft were put on standby and HMS Albion was also directed towards the area to assist. Later troops of the 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment were placed on standby to move to the area if reinforcements were needed. On 12 November the evacuation began to proceed as two RAF Hercules and a C17 Globemaster aircraft flew evacuees to Ghana, with 120 Ghurkas escorting the evacuees from Abidjan to the airport and then forming a perimeter as the aircraft took off. 50 hours after it began the operation was complete, with 300 people evacuated including the British ambassador David Coates, and his staff. No British military or civilian casualties occurred during the operation.[3] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Gegout |first1=Catherine |title=Why Europe Intervenes in Africa: Security Prestige and the Legacy of Colonialism |date=2018 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0190911476 |page=35, 232 |url=https://books.google.pl/books?id=m2lNDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA35&dq=Operation+Phillis&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjprPj74bbfAhUMt4sKHcbHARAQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=Operation%20Phillis&f=false |accessdate=23 December 2018}} {{UK-mil-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |last1=Adebajo |first1=Adekeye |last2=Whitman |first2=Kaye |title=The EU and Africa: From Eurafrique to Afro-Europa |date=2012 |publisher=Hurst Publishers |isbn=1849041717 |page=353 |url=https://books.google.pl/books?id=sVGR_pIqErsC&pg=PA353&dq=Operation+Phillis&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjprPj74bbfAhUMt4sKHcbHARAQ6AEIMDAB#v=onepage&q=Operation%20Phillis&f=false |accessdate=23 December 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Evans |first1=Michael |title=Britons flee Ivory Coast after claims of atrocities |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/britons-flee-ivory-coast-after-claims-of-atrocities-0shkqclxv5d |accessdate=23 December 2018 |work=The Times |date=13 November 2004}} 2 : Non-combat military operations involving the United Kingdom|2004 in Ivory Coast |
