I'm speaking of the 'Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau' (CCRB). Trump's State Dept under Mike Pompeo created CCRB to do rapid evacuations . This would've taken responsibility of rapid response away from 'OP-MED' which was created after Benghazi and in itself has done great work to rescue Americans ;especially in the age of covid....ie they helped 328 Americans home from the stranded Diamond Princess in Japan after it's covid outbreak. CCRB would have expanded the scope of the OpMed .

But because it was a Trump initiative ,Quid put a hold on the program.

EXC: Joe Biden's State Dept Halted a Trump-Era 'Crisis Response' Plan Aimed at Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover. (thenationalpulse.com)

Careerist deep staters inside State were concerned of getting their toes stepped on in a turf war with the new agency . So they gave Quid his marching orders .

Scrapping the CCRB left the American diplomatic corps in Afghanistan in harm's way, As the Taliban's offensive advanced ,Blinken's state department didn't take any precautions to evacuate its employees, setting the stage for their chaotic evacuation .Some of it could've been avoided if the CCRB was still in place.
