US Can Provide Over-the-Horizon Support to Afghanistan: Pentagon
The US military “can already provide the over-the-horizon support that the Afghan government will need,” Pentagon spokesman John F. Kirby said Monday, adding that the United States leaders continually assess the progress of the retrograde from Afghanistan and the state of operations in the country and adjust accordingly.
“Those capabilities already exist. Leaders are looking for better ways to perform the missions,” Kirby said. “Other aspects of the Afghan situation are still being studied. Commanders at many levels are wrestling with what over-the-horizon counterinsurgency and over-the-horizon logistics will look like.”
He said the US leaders continually assess the progress of the retrograde from Afghanistan and the state of operations in the country and adjust accordingly.
