The military is expected to complete its withdrawal within a matter of days, following President Biden’s order in April to end American involvement in the war. More than 2,400 U.S. troops have been killed in 20 years of fighting, with 20,000 more wounded. About 47,245 civilians also have been killed, along with tens of thousands of Afghan security forces.
