In the United States explained the reasons for the secret and accelerated departure of the American military with the largest airbase in Afghanistan by Bagram until the conclusion of the troops was completed and stated that he had no importance to evacuation. About this in his report on the operation “Guardian Freedom” reported by the chief general inspector of the United States Sean W. O’Donnel.
The report states that for the holding of the Bagrama of the American administration it would be necessary to put the dangers of about five thousand military personnel. “That would be a little contributed to the mission entrusted to us, namely the protection of the embassy that was about 30 miles from us,” the report says.
According to the statement of the head of the Pentagon of Lloyd Austin, the continuation of the retention of the air base exceeded the possibility of the American army, taking into account the need to protect the American representation. “So we had to abandon that or the other, and it was decided,” he noted.
Head of the US Central Command General Frank McCenzie supported this opinion, stating that from a military point of view it would be impossible to act and defend both the embassy and barrames with the number of troops in Afghanistan in July. “The version of the Bagrama went when we were ordered to cut our presence up to 650 people in Kabul,” he said.
Earlier in the United States, the reasons for the failure of the Sustainable Safety System of Afghanistan were explained and stated that the main mistake in the preparation of the Afghan military was an attempt to create an army on an American model. According to the report, the United States was used in Afghanistan “overly American models”, which were not adapted to the specific needs of the Afghan Armed Forces.
Military US left the largest airbase in Afghanistan by Bagram at night, without notifying her new commander. Before the Afghan army was able to take control over the airfield, which is approximately an hour drive from Kabul, marauders penetrated on it who plundered the barracks and warehouses.
