Introduction. Estimating the quantity of combat casualties is the main principle for the medical support plan development during combat operations. The aim of this study was to analyze the mortality and the amount of combat injuries of the Polish Military Contingent (PMC) in Afghanistan from 2007 to 2014. Material and methods. Medical, tactical, engineering, EOD and technical reports were analyzed, as well as communications available on the official website of the Ministry of National Defense (isaf.wp.mil.pl) and www.wojsko‑polskie.pl from 2007 to 2015. Results. Forty‑five PMC soldiers were killed in action (KIA) or died of wounds (DOW) in combat. The mortality rate was 0.16%. During combat operations, 869 soldiers were wounded (3.0% of total number of PMC). The dead / injured ratio was 5.2%. 361 soldiers were severely injured. Conclusions. Most of the deaths (KIA – 69%) were due to multiple organ injuries caused by IED. Higher mortality was reported in the summer months. In‑depth analysis of the loss structure is required.
