5:19Now PlayingPentagon press secretary John Kirby gives the latest update on the situation in Afghanistan.
“The troop movements … are happening as we speak. Three battalions are preparing to move from their current locations in the central command area of responsibility to Kabul, and they consist of a Marine Battalion that was already pre-staged in the region, … another Marine infantry battalion from a Marine expeditionary unit and a U.S. Army infantry battalion,” Kirby said.
Yesterday, the Pentagon announced that they’re sending 3,000 troops to the country to aid with the evacuation of American soldiers. The War in Afghanistan has lasted close to 20 years, as it started shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
