SIGAR Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction Quarterly Report to the United States Congress
Abstract
I am pleased to submit to Congress, and to the Secretaries of State and Defense, SIGARs51st quarterly report on the status of reconstruction in Afghanistan. This quarter, President Joseph R. Biden laid out a new path for the United States in Afghanistan. U.S. troops are to be withdrawn from the country by September 11, 2021, the 20thanniversary of the attacks that prompted the initial U.S. intervention in Afghanistan. According to the commander of U.S. Central Command, General Kenneth McKenzie, this includes all U.S. defense contractors, whom senior military leaders consider vital to maintaining Afghan military equipment such as aircraft and vehicles. But while the United States will no longer maintain a military presence in the country, the President has said we will continue to provide diplomatic and humanitarian support, and development assistance to the government of Afghanistan, as well as assistance to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.
