Washington Post | Top U.S. commander in Afghanistan to step down Monday, marking a symbolic end to 20 years of war
Army Gen. Austin “Scott” Miller, who has overseen the war effort for nearly three years, relinquished responsibility in a ceremony at the top U.S. military headquarters. President Biden said last week that the military withdrawal he ordered will be complete Aug. 31, but Miller’s departure is among the only pieces left. Virtually all other troops, contractors and equipment already have exited, defense officials said on the condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. |
