Military officials say troops turned off power and slipped away without notifying new commander
The US left Afghanistan’s Bagram airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.
Afghanistan’s army showed off the sprawling airbase on Monday, providing a rare first glimpse of what had been the centre of America’s war.
