The six Representatives received in-country updates on security, political transitions, and counter-terrorism initiatives. Congresswoman Kusters six-day oversight trip included extensive briefings from senior military officials in both countries, as well as updates from the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan P. Michael McKinley and Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, the Chief Executive of Afghanistan. The delegation met with members of the armed forces serving at Bagram Airfield, Camp Integrity, and Camp Arifjan. I was honored to spend Thanksgiving with our troops in Afghanistan, Kuster said. Americans should be proud of the dedication and commitment of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are working with the Afghan National Army to combat terrorism and bring stability to the region. Our Granite State troops are crucial to the mission and I am dedicated to supporting their efforts and to bringing them home safely. Kuster was joined on the bipartisan trip by Representatives Mike Coffman (CO-6), Phil Roe (TN-1), Ralph Abraham (LA-5), Beto ORourke (TX-16), and Mark Takano (CA-41). Kuster is a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and serves as a Ranking Member of the Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, which allows the Congresswoman to continue to provide increased oversight at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that every veteran can easily access the resources he or she needs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
