Andrew Kelly (Charlie Company, 4/31 - 10th Mountain Division)

  • Summary

  • One of the most overlooked aspects of Operation Allies Refuge, as well as the Afghan Withdrawal as a whole is the role played by the Companies from the US Army's famous 10th Mountain Division. Andrew Kelly was the First Sergeant for Company C. 4/31 that had been in Afghanistan since 26 November 2020 (Thanksgiving Day). For several months, Andrew and his Soldiers supported various installations across Afghanistan until the order came to shut it all down, including the closure of Bagram Airbase on the night of 1-2 July and finally being moved to Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) to support the American Embassy. At every turn, they were short on men, material, and information, but they proved to be as resourceful as any other Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division, past or present, and laid the groundwork that undoubtedly saved countless lives, preventing a complete disaster amidst a horrible tragedy. Climb to Glory!
