Summary/Abstract: Relying on his own experience, the author presents various elements and factors which exert an influence on the activity of a soldier in the course of a foreign mission. He tries to answer the question whether it is possible to fight with stress which accompanies one during the entire period of one’s stay on a mission. He also draws attention to a wide spectrum of stress causing factors and the possibilities of opposing them by an individual soldier.
