Honoring the brave men and women who participated in the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021 following the United States withdrawal, for their extraordinary efforts and exceptional service in the safe evacuation of over 17,000 people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and for other purposes.

This resolution (HRES 595) honors military personnel and civilians who evacuated over 17,000 people, including Afghan allies, from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal. It recognizes their service through a formal House resolution without creating new laws or funding. The resolution specifically acknowledges the efforts of a team led by Chad Robichaux and others who coordinated evacuation operations amid significant danger. It serves as a symbolic gesture of appreciation, not a policy change.
