Germany may be withdrawing its armed forces. But the development of Afghanistan is still an ongoing mission. Now in the hands of private contractors and corporations. In Germany's case it seems to be focused solely on building communities and infrastructure.
The U.S. and British are doing the same thing and as I mentioned earlier so is Russia. However in addition to building better relations through community, and infrastructure. The U.S. and British seem to have quite a formidable corporate army & security forces, hired guns if you will, at their disposal too.

Because contractors operate in the shadows, without effective public oversight, they allow policymakers to have their cake and eat it too – by appearing to withdraw, while keeping proxy forces in theater.

Withdrawing declared troops from Afghanistan does not mean the end of our involvement. Not an easy job, but its never been the quagmire everyone cries about either. For one, unlike the British march from Kabul we're no longer using 1860's technology. Neither do have (at the moment) a crippled economy like the Soviets which IMO was the reason they were forced to withdraw.
However from this point on much of what happens in Afghanistan will be up to the Afghans.
