The United States military has begun to move equipment out of Afghanistan as the U.S. prepares for withdrawal from the country.

Military officials have told CNN that the focus of shipping unneeded supplies and equipment out of the country is so that it will not be destroyed or passed on to Afghan forces. Equipment that is found to be "obsolete" will be destroyed, the outlet noted.

While personnel will not begin to move out of Afghanistan for weeks to come, military officials said that is set to "retain our ability to defend the force and provide support."


President Biden last week detailed his plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, stating that the deadline would be by the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, which sparked the war
“War in Afghanistan was never meant to be a multigenerational undertaking,” Biden said during a speech at the time. “It’s time to end the forever war.”

Under the president's directive, the military will not be given an extension due to conditions on the ground. In order to ensure security as troops withdraw, the Pentagon approved an aircraft carrier to remain in the region in the event that airstrikes are needed for protection, CNN noted.

Nearly 2,500 U.S. forces are currently stationed in Afghanistan in addition to hundreds of special operations forces. Roughly 1,000 ground troops are also set be sent to Afghanistan to provide "force protection" for troops leaving the nation, the outlet reported.
