Later that the evening, General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced that the United States had completed their evacuation from Afghanistan. American troops also disabled a number of vehicles, aircraft, and the C-RAM system that could not be evacuated to prevent use by the Taliban. The last two Americans to board an evacuation flight were acting Ambassador Ross Wilson, the top US diplomat in Afghanistan, and the final soldier to leave Afghanistan, Major General Chris Donahue, commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division. The final flight, a US Air Force C-17, departed at 11:59 p.m. (Kabul time) on 30 August. The War in Afghanistan, the chapter of the Afghanistan conflict that had begun with a 2001 invasion, was over.
