Obama maintains 9800 troops in Afghanistan through 2016
President Obama announced a $15 billion plan to sustain 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan through most of 2016, then draw down to 5,500 later in the year or early 2017. The move aims to aid Afghan forces against the Taliban and prevent the Islamic State from using Afghanistan as a haven while NATO allies weigh future commitments. The decision shapes the 2016 race as rivals offer varied endings to the war.
