(CNN) - President Barack Obama landed Sunday in Afghanistan on an unannounced trip to visit with U.S. forces on Memorial Day weekend, according to the press pool traveling with the President.
This marks his fourth trip to the country, with his last being on May 1, 2012, when he made an address to the United States about the country's involvement in Afghanistan.
Country music star Brad Paisley traveled aboard Air Force One with the President. He's set to perform for some of the 32,000 Americans serving in Afghanistan at a major rally.
