How many civilian movements, you mean? Not many. We're there once a week with a large cargo aircraft. I don't see many other civil movements. Plenty of F16s, UAVs, C130s etc. I can't say I feel 100% comfortable flying into Kandahar but it's not so bad that I want to quit my job to avoid it. Most companies that fly there issue instructions similar to those quoted above. They're probably designed to protect the company's ass, not yours, in case something goes wrong. An example: "On arrival in parking, all crews will determine the location of hardened, semi-hardened or improvised protective shelter nearest to the aircraft's parking stand" etc etc. To go to Kandahar or not - the choice is yours.
