Area 45: Colonel Joseph Felter: Afghanistan Withdrawal. The February 2020 announcement of a potential US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 raises the question of the legacy of America's military involvement in that region - a presence dating back to the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

Felter is a Special Forces officer and served as the commander of the Counterinsurgency Advisory and Assistance Team (CAAT) in Afghanistan.
