As U.S. Drawdown In Afghanistan Continues, U.S. Footprint Shrinks In The Country

PUL-E ALAM, AFGHANISTAN - APRIL 03: A series of tents once used as a dining facility sit abandoned in an area on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Shank that is no longer used due to a shrinking population on the FOB on April 3, 2014 near Pul-e Alam, Afghanistan. The facility was one of three dining facilities for servicemen to eat at on the FOB. Soon there will be one. As the U.S. changes its role in the 13-year-old war from combatants to advisors many U.S. military installations in Afghanistan are being downsized or closed. Shank, which is currently being downsized, is expected to be turned over to the Afghan National Army later this year. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
