For the US and Nato, the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan has been the epicentre of the war against the Taliban and al-Qaeda for some 20 years.
The US-led coalition forces moved in during December 2001, and it was developed into a huge base capable of holding up to 10,000 troops.
Now they have left as President Joe Biden vows to have all US forces gone by 11 September.
The Taliban have welcomed news of the withdrawal from the base.
The Afghan military will now take over Bagram as part of its ongoing fight against the Taliban.

A sad outcome to a poorly planned action.
Biden has shown the guts that 3 previous Presidents lacked. He got us out of a war we could not win.
Brings back memories,,,,
