Afghanistan Air Force reaches Critical Juncture

The Air Force in Afghanistan has reached a new milestone, marking a huge development since its creation, according to USA Today. The Air Force has now mastered the ability to take soldiers who have been injured off the battlefield without the help of the US. Previously, they had not had the skills to be able to do this. The amount of causality missions has increased by 341, a huge deal in their fight against the Taliban. This is a critical juncture because it is the first time the Air Force is able to support themselves and their troops without the US. Since the US removed aid, the forces in Afghanistan have been struggling. However, this huge accomplishment shows self sufficiency and the ability for Afghanistan to begin to develop their own programs, a huge step from the country we went into 12 years ago.
