The committee has invited two leaders from groups that organized some of the flights out of Afghanistan set up for those looking to leave the country as it started to fall apart entirely.
The March 8th hearing is set to bring in leaders from Allied Airlift 21 and Task Force Pineapple to testify about what they did, how they contributed to the situation related to getting the planes out of Afghanistan, and how some of those critical decisions were made.
The Hill reports that this will be the first hearing by the GOP-led committee into the Afghanistan situation since the Republicans took over Congress after the 2022 elections. Thus, the questions asked of those called upon to testify are expected to be tough but fair.

Thus, this didn’t help create new information that wasn’t already primarily known. That said, the Republicans in the House still want to make sure they get to have their hearings and that their voices are heard.

Now, there will finally be some hearings relevant to how the withdrawal from Afghanistan unfolded just a couple of years ago. There are grumblings about the Biden White House and how it has resisted the desire for Congress to look into the situation that unfolded in Afghanistan. Other agencies have stirred up some complaints about the resistance from the Biden Administration to allow for oversight of this event. Some interesting pieces of information may have yet to emerge to the public.
