Background-Every war in the world has its characteristics and the Iraqi Iranian war 1980-1988 has been neglected for along time due to political factors.

Methods-review of records of all veterans evacuated to an advanced dressing station (ADS) serving a corps sector over one year starting from the 1st of Jan.

1982 to the 31st of Dec.

1982.

Results-the total number of casualties reached this station was 3020 veterans .

Mortality rate before reaching to the station was about 20 %.

The majority of veterans (70 %) were evacuated to the next station and most of them (90 %) were injured during combat.

Severe injuries constituted only 11 % of casualties evacuated while the majority of those evacuated were those with intermediate and simple injuries .

the most common causative agent was shrapnel in 80 % and extremities were the most common injured parts of the body (62 %) and abdominal injuries were the least common(3.
