Update on Withdrawal of U.S. Forces From Afghanistan May 31, 2021

Excerpt: “Since the President’s decision, the DoD has retrograded the equivalent of approximately 300 C-17 loads of material out of Afghanistan and have turned nearly 13,000 pieces of equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency for disposition. Also, the U.S. has officially handed over six facilities to the Afghan Ministry of Defense. We anticipate additional transfers of bases and military assets in the future which will support the ANDSF/GIRoA as they work to stabilize and defend their nation. U.S. Central Command estimates that we have completed between 30-44% of the entire retrograde process.”
