Full non-fatal casualty records are currently only available for the period after 1 January 2006. From that date to end of operations, 3,598 British personnel were wounded, injured or fell ill (315 wounded in action); 1,971 of whom required aeromedical evacuation. However, these totals are likely to rise significantly as and when full records for 2003 to 2006 become available.
