Summary
The Pentagon is set to declassify previously restricted materials from earlier investigations into the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. The review will include interview transcripts, internal documents, and prior findings that officials say were overclassified. The effort aims to examine a broader set of records and conduct extensive interviews with senior military leaders and rank-and-file troops. The review may reopen unanswered questions about who made key decisions during the withdrawal.

The Pentagon review is reopening scrutiny of key decisions made during the Biden administration’s botched 2021 exit from Afghanistan. Stu Scheller, a Pentagon adviser, says the review will declassify all documents and interview transcripts. The effort is examining a broader set of records and conducting extensive interviews with senior military leaders and rank-and-file troops. The review may reopen unanswered questions about who made key decisions during the withdrawal. Scheller’s role in the review marks a striking reversal for a Marine officer who was previously punished after publicly criticizing the military’s handling of the withdrawal.
