US Deploying Troops In Kabul To Support The Orderly And Safe Reduction Of Civilian Personnel From Afghanistan

The Biden administration is deploying several thousands of its troops to the Kabul airport to support the orderly and safe reduction of civilian personnel mainly from its embassy, officials at the Pentagon and the State Department said Thursday. We are further reducing our civilian footprint in Kabul in light of the evolving security situation. We expect to draw down to a core diplomatic presence in Afghanistan in the coming weeks. In order to facilitate this reduction, the Department of Defense will temporarily deploy additional personnel to Hamid Karzai International Airport, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters at his daily news conference.
