US Reportedly Didn’t Tell Afghan Army of Plans to Slink Out of Bagram Due to Fear of Taliban Attacks

US forces left Bagram Air Base in the dead of night on 1 July, handing the strategic facility over to Afghan forces, who soon lost it to the Taliban. At the height of the US occupation, the base housed tens of thousands of US and NATO troops, and served as a logistics hub for the delivery of equipment and personnel across the country.
