Maj. Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, was the last soldier to leave Afghanistan, officials said Monday.
U.S. Central Command released a picture of Donahue preparing to board the final military C-17 cargo plane to leave Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.
Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, the head of Central Command, told reporters in a virtual briefing that with the departure of the C-17 at 3:29 p.m. ET, “every single U.S. service member is now out of Afghanistan.”
