I believe that to do this right would have taken a lot longer than 9 months and two weeks, we can see was too short.If Trump had "solved" the exit plan, why didn't he implement it? He had 9 months to accomplish it. It would have distracted the American public from that pesky pandemic and given him a "win" to carry him to victory last November (not the 7 million vote loss he justifiably suffered.)
But of course he knew it would be messy. He knew it wouldn't be a win. Why, just the thought of trying to conduct an operation probably gave him a recurrence of heel spurs.
First, get out all those people who are from the US and other allied countries as well as those who want to get out.
Second, get out all the equipment, weapons, trucks, planes, computers, records and other infrastructure that is not absolutely necessary.
Third, get all US and allied government personnel.
Last, get the military out.
This could have been done by holding the military strong hold at the military air base until the last plane left with the last troops.
That, would have taken longer than 9 months.
