The Pentagon has approved the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, under which two major US military bases will remain in Afghanistan.
According to the British news agency Reuters, a US general said on Wednesday that the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan is underway following the order of President Donald Trump and the total number of US troops in Afghanistan will reach 2,500 by January 15. Before the election, President Trump had decided to halve the number of troops from 4,500 before the military leadership made a clear plan for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, while questions remained. What will be the future US military mission in Afghanistan?
The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Millie, detailed the first troop withdrawal at the Brookings Institution think tank, saying that in addition to maintaining two major US military bases in Afghanistan, there would be "numerous satellite bases". ۔ He said the US military would continue two key missions, including assisting the Afghan army in its fight against the Taliban and conducting operations against al-Qaeda and ISIS. However, the US general did not say which two troops were in Afghanistan. The bases will remain and what will be the effect on the operational capabilities of the army after 2,500 troops remain.
