evacuations in the city of kabul, has the u.s. military did any revacuations of any sort outside of the city of kabul because there are a lot of mesh americans not in kabul. i ll let the general take that. when you talk about evacuations, you mean going out and we continue to closely coordinate to ensure the safe arrival of americans and others on h-kai. so we have not gone any further air operations this time but as i said earlier we continue to ensure the capabilities that we ve had and as required that we re able to do so. is there a plan in place to help extract americans who are outside of kabul at this point? we are always planning and assessing what needs to be done to help americans get to h-kai
can t put an on airplane or any items that you would destroy in place. i think the general answered your first question. there is no other additional operations to speak to. we continue to facilitate safe passage. i mean outside of kabul, i believe. there are no additional operations to speak to that i m aware of. outside. outside of the airport either. but we continue to facilitate safe passage for americans and sivs as they need to get to the airport. and as i mentioned to aleta, just in the last 24 hours coy tell you that several hundred americans have made it safely to airport gates for further on transportation. with u.s. government assistance? i m going to leave it at that, barb. and as for your question on retrograde, the short answer is yes. as a part of any retrograde, and i know that is a technical
to miss some of these, leta, so walk me back. you re right, there has been no change to the timeline of the mission which is to have this completed by the end of month. we continue to make progress every day in getting americans as well as siv applicants and vuln vulnerable afghans out and you heard the number that the general briefed just a minute ago and the vast majority of these individuals are afghans. so, we are remaining committed to getting any and owl americans that want to leave to get them out and we still believe certainly now that we have been able to increase the capacity in the flow, we believe that we have that that we have the capability, the ability to get that done by the end of the month. you asked for i think bases.
