Fox News
The U.S. military this week has pulled out of Kandahar Airfield, a sprawling base located outside Afghanistan’s second-largest city, a U.S. official based in Kabul confirms to Fox News.
Kandahar Airfield, or "KAF" as it was known to the tens of thousands of U.S. troops who passed through over nearly two decades, served as a hub for American forces to push out to more austere forward-operating bases and outposts in Afghanistan’s volatile south. U.S. fighter squadrons and drones were also based at Kandahar Airfield providing critical air support to Afghan forces fighting an emboldened Taliban.More Related News
