Last Australian Troops Leave Afghanistan

Last of Australian combat troops leave Afghanistan - Khaleej Times
"Some 400 Australians will remain in Afghanistan in non-combat roles, mostly in Kabul and Kandahar, but the bulk of the 1,550 Australians who had been serving there were now out of the country.
“None of them are expected to be involved in combat,” Abbott said of those remaining to work with the Afghan police and army.
Asked whether he was confident local authorities could take over security, Abbott said Australians troops were happy with the progress made by the Afghan National Army (ANA) brigade they had mentored."
