The top U.S. commander in Kabul is a 30-year veteran and Navy SEAL who had a key leadership role at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Now with help from the 82nd Airborne he’s trying to keep Kabul’s airport operating after Afghans fleeing the Taliban clung to U.S. military planes.
Rear Admiral Peter Vasely used to be a member of Seal Team 6, the elite Navy unit best known for killing former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. His responsibilities in Kabul include ensuring Taliban forces around the airport don’t disrupt plans to get Americans and allies out of the country and completing a U.S. troop withdrawal by Aug. 31.
