The top US general in Afghanistan will step down on Monday as the United States' military withdrawal from the country nears completion.
Gen. Austin Scott Miller will transition his command authorities to Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the leader of US Central Command, in a ceremony in Kabul, according to a US defense official with direct knowledge of the plans. His transition of command authorities was expected and is a key milestone in the US' military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and comes days after President Joe Biden said that the full drawdown of forces would be complete by the end of August.More Related News
