Officials in Kandahar province have begun humanitarian preparations in advance of fighting later this year, when NATO forces are expected to launch their most ambitious assault on Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan since 2001.
Kandahar's governor, Tooryalai Wesa, said officials are stockpiling tents, medical supplies and food as he expects as many as 10,000 people may have to flee their homes when the fighting starts.
Well I guess that is why all those extra US troops were sent there. Maybe NATO announces these missions hoping that most of the enemy would retreat from the battlefield before the first shot is fired. That's what I would do, slither from the area and fight some other day.
Good to see they are planning for the displaced families. The 3 stage warfighting concept.
