Non-fatal Casualties
Figures released by DND in January 2011 show that the total number of Canadian soldiers injured and wounded in more than nine years of war reached 1,859 by the end of December 2010. 1,244 of these are listed as NBI (Non battle injuries) and 615 of these are listed as WIA (wounded in action).
Following a policy change at the beginning of 2010, the Canadian military began to withhold all injury reports, releasing only statistics after the end of a calendar year, citing security reasons.
The Department of National Defence also refuses to disclose the nature or severity of injuries and wounds, claiming that information is an operational secret.
