In the article the authors attempt to draw the picture of a leader on a military mission abroad. The authors pay particular attention to the characteristics of leaders in the context of the risk of decision-making under life-threatening conditions. The article is based on an analysis of literature and interviews conducted with officers and non-commissioned officers, veterans of the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The article also discusses the effectiveness of the commander in crisis situations. Based on the claim that leadership is a relationship between the leader and the followers, and the vision that the leader has and instills among his/her soldiers, the authors stress the importance of risk in combat teams operations. How the team is affected by lack of the leader and what threats it poses to subordinates. In the article the authors present what motivates soldiers to operate on a military mission and also present examples of leadership on missions. The authors pay attention to the stressors that occur during combat operations. The article also addresses the issues of leadership in military education.
