Pada 12 Agustus, beberapa jam pasca kejatuhan [[Herat]], Pemerintah Amerika Serikat dan [[Britania Raya]] mengumumkan pengerahan masing-masing sebanyak 3.000 dan 600 pasukan tentara ke Bandara Kabul untuk mengamankan proses [[pengangkutan udara]] warga negaranya berikut staf kedutaan besar dan warga sipil Afganistan yang bekerja dengan pasukan koalisi untuk keluar dari Afganistan.

Menurut sumber tersebut, rencananya pengangkutan udara tersebut akan menggunakan [[Penyewaan udara|pesawat sewaan]] untuk melakukan evakuasi menggunakan Bandara Kabul yang saat itu masih dibuka untuk penerbangan komersial, tetapi pesawat militer akan digunakan jika situasi menjadi tidak memungkinkan. Menurut Pemerintah Britania Raya, proses evakuasi dan waktunya telah lama direncanakan, sedangkan seorang pejabat Pemerintah Afganistan mengatakan bahwa waktu evakuasi tersebut dimajukan mengingat situasi keamanan yang memburuk dengan cepat.

Selama [[Perang Saudara Afganistan (1996–2001)]], perlawanan terkuat terhadap Taliban berasal dari wilayah utara Afganistan, di mana wilayah tersebut merupakan basis [[Aliansi Utara]]. Menurut [[Jaringan Analis Afganistan]], konsentrasi pasukan Taliban di wilayah utara kemungkinan merupakan upaya Taliban untuk mencegah terjadinya pembentukan Aliansi Utara kedua setelah pasukan Amerika Serikat ditarik dari Afganistan.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1 July 2021|title=A Quarter of Afghanistan's Districts Fall to the Taleban amid Calls for a 'Second Resistance'|url=https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/en/reports/war-and-peace/a-quarter-of-afghanistans-districts-fall-to-the-taleban-amid-calls-for-a-second-resistance/|website=Afghanistan Analysts Network|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210710093910/https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/en/reports/war-and-peace/a-quarter-of-afghanistans-districts-fall-to-the-taleban-amid-calls-for-a-second-resistance/|archive-date=10 July 2021|access-date=10 July 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

Pada awal tahun 2019, sedikitnya 42.000 tentara bayangan dihapus dari daftar gaji Angkatan Darat Afganistan.<ref name=":0" />
Pada 30 Juli, sebuah laporan SIGAR mengatakan adanya "efek korosif dari korupsi di tubuh ANDSF, ketidakakuratan pada kekuatan sebenarnya dari pasukan Afganistan, kurangnya kesiapan tempur, keinginan untuk berperang, ketidakberlanjutan karena ketergantungan pada peralatan canggih, kurangnya fokus pada kemampuan tingkat menteri, dan kurangnya informasi penting, seperti penilaian kontrol distrik, yang dapat digunakan untuk membantu mengukur kinerja ANDSF dalam beberapa tahun terakhir".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction|date=30 July 2021|title=QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS|url=https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/quarterlyreports/2021-07-30qr.pdf|page=62|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210813114240/https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/quarterlyreports/2021-07-30qr.pdf|archive-date=13 August 2021|access-date=15 August 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

Pada 12 Agustus, sejumlah pakar kontra-terorisme internasional dan pejabat Pemerintah Amerika Serikat mengatakan kehancuran [[Pasukan Keamanan Nasional Afganistan]] (ANSF) yang begitu cepat ketika Amerika Serikat menarik pasukannya "seharusnya tidak mengejutkan". Menurut seorang pakar, Taliban telah mampu menggerakkan pasukan mereka secara bebas ke seluruh Afganistan setelah Perjanjian Doha dengan hampir tidak ada intervensi dari pasukan pemerintah Afganistan.<ref name="direction" /> Pada hari yang sama, mantan penasihat Amerika Serikat [[Vali Nasr]] mengatakan, "tidak ada jenis kepemimpinan apapun yang akan memberikan panglima perang setempat alasan mengapa mereka harus melawan Taliban.

Ali Yawar Adili, direktur negara Jaringan Analis Afganistan, mengatakan bahwa pejabat Afganistan—termasuk Ghani—tidak pernah mengira bahwa Amerika Serikat akan menghentikan dukungan udara dan logistiknya kepada pasukan Afganistan.<ref name="collapse-1" /> Pasukan tentara Afganistan sangat bergantung kepada dukungan udara dan logistik yang diberikan Amerika Serikat dan mereka terkejut begitu mengetahui Amerika Serikat menarik dukungannya.

Pada 8 Juli, Presiden Amerika Serikat [[Joe Biden]] berbicara kepada para wartawan dalam sebuah konferensi pers, mengatakan pengambilalihan Taliban atas Afganistan tidak bisa dihindari, dengan mengatakan, "Pasukan tentara Afganistan memiliki 300.000 anggota yang dilengkapi dengan baik—dan juga dilengkapi dengan baik seperti Angkatan Darat mana pun di dunia—dan sebuah Angkatan Udara untuk melawan sesuatu seperti 75.000 anggota Taliban". Biden mengatakan Komunitas Intelijen Amerika Serikat belum menilai adanya kemungkinan bahwa pemerintah Afganistan akan jatuh. Ketika ditanya mengenai kesamaan antara peristiwa penarikan saat ini dan [[Kejatuhan Saigon|apa yang terjadi di Vietnam]], Presiden Biden menjawab:<blockquote>"Tidak ada sama sekali. Nol. Apa yang Anda miliki adalah—Anda memiliki seluruh brigade yang menerobos gerbang kedutaan kami—enam, jika saya tidak salah. Taliban bukanlah (tentara Vietnam) selatan—[[Tentara Rakyat Vietnam|tentara Vietnam Utara]]. Mereka tidak—mereka tidak sebanding dalam hal kemampuan. Tidak akan ada situasi di mana Anda melihat [[Operasi Frequent Wind|orang-orang diangkut dari atap kedutaan]] di—kedutaan Amerika Serikat dari Afganistan. Itu sama sekali tidak sebanding."</blockquote>Presiden Biden menambahkan, "...kemungkinan dari Taliban untuk menguasai segalanya dan memiliki seluruh negeri (Afganistan) adalah sangat tidak mungkin".<ref>{{Cite web|date=8 July 2021|title=Remarks by President Biden on the Drawdown of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan|url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/07/08/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-drawdown-of-u-s-forces-in-afghanistan/|website=whitehouse.gov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210814192023/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/07/08/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-drawdown-of-u-s-forces-in-afghanistan/|archive-date=14 August 2021|access-date=15 August 2021|url-status=live}}</ref> Pada 15 Agustus, selama [[Pertempuran Kabul (2021)|masuknya]] Taliban ke Kabul, para diplomat dan staf dievakuasi dari kedutaan besar Amerika Serikat di Kabul menggunakan sejumlah helikopter [[Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk|UH-60]] dan [[Boeing CH-47 Chinook|CH-47]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Porter|first=Tom|title=Helicopters are evacuating staff from the US embassy in Kabul as the Taliban enter the Afghan capital 'from all sides'|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/us-evacuate-kabul-embassy-as-taliban-storm-the-afghan-capital-2021-8|website=Business Insider|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210815101609/https://www.businessinsider.com/us-evacuate-kabul-embassy-as-taliban-storm-the-afghan-capital-2021-8|archive-date=15 August 2021|access-date=15 August 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>

Menurut seorang pejabat Pentagon, kekosongan lapisan keamanan di Afganistan setelah Amerika Serikat menarik pasukan militernya dapat menjadi jalan pembuka bagi [[Al Qa'idah]] dan kelompok terorisme lainnya untuk membangun organisasinya kembali. Pejabat tersebut menamabahkan, meskipun Amerika Serikat masih akan memegang otoritas untuk menyerang target Al Qa'idah di Afganistan, kurangnya kehadiran Amerika Serikat yang kuat di lapangan akan menghambat kemampuan untuk mengidentifikasi target potensial. Komandan [[Komando Pusat Amerika Serikat|CENTCOM]] [[Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr.]] mengatakan ia belum melihat apa pun yang akan membuatnya percaya bahwa Taliban akan menghentikan Al Qa'idah dari menggunakan tanah Afganistan untuk memperkuat dan membangun organisasinya kembali.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kube|first=Courtney|date=12 August 2021|title=Potential Al Qaeda resurgence in Afghanistan worries U.S. officials|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/potential-al-qaeda-resurgence-afghanistan-worries-u-s-officials-n1276614|publisher=NBC News|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210812162109/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/potential-al-qaeda-resurgence-afghanistan-worries-u-s-officials-n1276614|archive-date=12 August 2021|access-date=12 August 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
