A veterans group is helping Afghan interpreters evacuate the amid the Taliban's insurgence, via an online network of allies.
The campaign, known as 'digital Dunkirk,' is comprised of a network of 'hundreds of thousands of people' and utilizes satellite imagery and other intel to locate Taliban checkpoints.
The militant group, who now rules the country, is targeting the interpreters and has ordered them to be shot.
Matt Zeller, an Afghanistan war veteran and former CIA analyst, told Fox News the interpreters were essential allies to U.S. troops, serving as America's 'eyes and ears on the battlefield'.
President Joe Biden, who recently withdrew U.S. troops from Afghanistan, has been under fire for not making the evacuation of interpreters a priority.

According to Zeller, the 'digital Dunkirk' campaign started out as an army of veterans but has not grown to include hundreds of thousands of individuals from all backgrounds who want to help the translators evacuate safely.
'It's incredible,' he said. 'It's not just veterans. Literally it's pastors, it's my mom, it's my relatives, people who have never served in Afghanistan … widows, widowers, children of people who served.'
'We've had intel analysts who have come and started doing satellite imagery analysis and actually putting together products for people where they're mapping out Taliban checkpoints in real time using social media data to provide safe routes to the airport,' Zeller explained.
He said he spends the majority of his nighttime communicating with interpreters sharing the latest checkpoint locations.
'I'm spending most of my nighttime texting with Afghans, telling them 'no, this is the gate you now got to try and get to. Oh, well here's where this Taliban checkpoint is, you gotta take this street to literally get around them,'' Zeller said.
The Taliban has reportedly said they would 'forgive' any Afghans who aided the U.S. during the war, however, according to Zeller, the group has been stopping people at checkpoints and either 'recording or killing' anyone that has 'allied against them'.
'If you have an English document on you in that checkpoint, they take that document,' Zeller stated.
'And they make note that you're now on their list.'
