Danish soldiers after deployment

Around 26,000 Danish men and women were deployed as soldiers on international missions between 1992 and 2009. The former Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan count among the destinations where Danish military forces have been present during this period.
What have been the implications for the Danish soldiers deployed? Who are the people that Denmark chooses to send to war, and how does the deployment experience affect them?
Soldaterlegatet commissioned SFI, the Danish National Centre for Social Research, to carry out a study on this issue. The results of the study are now available in the form of six reports, which have been published individually during the period 2010 to 2012. This leaflet presents a brief description of the conclusions of the research project.
