US Military Buildup in Afghanistan Underway, General Says
The U.S. commander in Afghanistan said Thursday that "additional capabilities" were already arriving in the military buildup announced earlier this week by President Donald Trump.
Army Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan and the NATO Resolute Support Mission, was careful not to say whether the new "capabilities" included more troops, but Army Gen. Joseph Votel, Nicholson's superior as head of U.S. Central Command, said Tuesday that additional troops could be on the ground within days or weeks.
