A general view of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul in 2013. The State Department announced Tuesday "the departure from U.S. Embassy Kabul of U.S. government employees whose functions can be performed elsewhere."

The order came Tuesday, amid concerns about heightened violence as U.S. and NATO troops depart Afghanistan. U.S. officials would not confirm the number of those leaving but insisted it would be small.
