    Sgt. 1st Class Jeffry Silba, a Haskell, Texas native and platoon sergeant with Comanche Troop, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, carries a sleeping child off of an aircraft at Fort Bliss, Texas, Sept. 2, 2021. Silba helps the families disembark the plane by sometimes carrying children or bags of the Afghan evacuees. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan personnel essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Brandon Banzhaf, 24th Theater Public Affairs Support Element)
