Army, Air Force Units Provide Lifesaving Support
U.S. Army Soldiers and U.S. Air Force Airmen worked together to evacuate over 120 Afghan civilians from Kabul, Afghanistan, on Aug. 21, 2021.
The evacuation was part of a larger effort to evacuate U.S. citizens, Afghan allies, and other vulnerable Afghans from Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover of the country.
The Army and Air Force units worked together to secure the evacuation site, provide medical care to the evacuees, and transport them to safety.
The Soldiers and Airmen also provided food, water, and other supplies to the evacuees.
The evacuation was a success, and all of the evacuees were safely transported to a staging area in Qatar.
The Army and Air Force units involved in the evacuation were:
- Army:
- 10th Mountain Division
- 82nd Airborne Division
- 101st Airborne Division
- 173rd Airborne Brigade
- 75th Ranger Regiment
- Air Force:
- 18th Air Force
- 37th Airlift Squadron
- 437th Airlift Wing
The evacuation was a testament to the close cooperation between the Army and Air Force, and to the dedication and professionalism of the Soldiers and Airmen involved.
The evacuation was also a reminder of the importance of the U.S. commitment to Afghanistan. The U.S. has been involved in Afghanistan for over 20 years, and has invested billions of dollars in the country. The evacuation was a way to show that the U.S. is committed to the Afghan people, and that it will not abandon them in their time of need.
