Its history seems to support this, they built the first airfield in the 1950's.
In fact, it seems the US didnt really have control until after the (British) SBS took control of it in 2001.
The US then held it for about 20 years, and built most of the current infrastructure.
They abandoned at the very start of July 2021, basically handing it back to Afghanistan.
