A tented city at Bagram Air Base which was once home to almost 40,000 people is being demolished as part of the U.S. withdrawal
Thousands of tonnes of concrete barriers are being removed from the perimeter of the massive facility as it shrinks in size
Afghan security forces are losing more than 100 men a week to Taliban attacks, which have intensified with the NATO withdrawal
The airbase is overlooked by the imposing Hindu Kush mountains which are still controlled by the Talban
U.S. engineers converted 40ft shipping containers into accommodation units, which are now going to be scrapped as part of the withdrawal
The temporary wooden structures are being demolished to reflect the size of the far smaller international security operation in Afghanistan
