Abstract
Due to the special line of work, active duty soldiers are exposed to plenty of stressful experiences. The causes of stress and its consequences resulting in various disorders may vary. It depends whether soldiers serve in their country or abroad. The following study is the research conducted in order to present the differences between the sources and intensity of stress occurring among soldiers working in their country and abroad. The research was carried out among the participants of Polish Military Contingents serving in both environments, including the missions in Chad, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan. The study considered universal aspects, such as general conditions, health care, environmental conditions, a salary and a sense of security. Moreover, to indicate the stress factor present in military service abroad, additional criteria were considered: a fear of worsening the relationship with a family, access to a sanitation evaluation, food quality and management evaluation, weather inconveniences, a fear of local community, the likelihood of threat of the surroundings and the anxiety related to the dangers of military service abroad.
