TAMPA, Fla. – U.S. Central Command provides the following update on the orderly and responsible withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, as of 10 a.m. on July 19, 2021.

Since the President’s decision, the DoD has retrograded the equivalent of approximately 984 C-17 loads of material out of Afghanistan and have turned nearly 17,074 pieces of equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency for disposition. The 17,074 pieces of equipment comprise almost entirely federal excess personal property. Most of this equipment is not defensive articles or considered to be major equipment.

Also, the U.S. has officially handed over seven facilities to the Afghan Ministry of Defense.

The withdrawal process continues; U.S. Central Command estimates that we have completed more than 95% of the entire withdrawal process.

  1. what we spent in afghanistan could have replaced every bridge in the country, or put every student thru college. think about that.

  2. So can we call the inevitable result the Biden genocide? Because he is literally killing thousands of ppl. He should think about that next time he calls unvaccinated ppl murderers. He’s going to be responsible for the rape, torture and murder of children, women and men. Joe’s a pos.

  3. The timeline of current events shaping are world has the use of costly destructive practices being squeezed out of the big picture on how the future will unfold.

  4. I can’t help but wonder what the biden administration is going to do with all the troops coming home. I predict more base closings to save money, as what happened under obama. Make our country weak, so the chinks can walk in and take over.
