Following the resignation of Gen. Austin S. Miller, the commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, the US Central Command formally took over control for US forces in Afghanistan on July 12, and the latter will cooperate with the Afghan security forces in air strikes by the end of August. Earlier on the morning of July 2, US and NATO forces withdrew in a rush from the Bagram Airfield, 50 kilometers away from Kabul, leaving behind 3.5 million items of equipment including vehicles, light weapons and ammunitions. Electricity was cut off by US forces before the withdrawal without notifying the Afghan forces. It wasn t until two hours later that the Afghan forces took over the military base, which had been under US control for 20 years.
