Here's the interesting point:
We already have evacuation plans at every Embassy. What this means is that the USG has gotten some indicator or intelligence that something might happen soon, so they are updating the plan.
THAT is the key piece here.

For example, the "on file" plan for Eastern Exit (first Mogadishu evac) was from the port.
When they went into final planning, it was realized that the MEU was too far out, so they decided to drop some guys from the 82nd right on the compound.

Then, they decided they didn't want to spend 3 days looking for the poor dudes who landed individually outside the walls in Mogadishu, which was literally a hellscape.
The final plan was an extremely long range helicopter insertion of Marines, which is what happened.

Protect the weak - The weak (the fatherless and widows in the bible) cannot defend themselves effectively, so we must.
Shed no innocent blood - This is significant because it doesn't say "shed no blood" as some would have you believe.
God is a Warrior and He need Warriors.
