The Romanian soldier, who was fulfilling a field search mission, suffered severe wounds caused by the detonation of an improvised explosive device. Sergeant Major Florinel Enache was evacuated from Afghanistan, under emergency procedure and, due to the surgical interventions and sustained efforts of U.S. physicians, his life was saved with the price of amputating both legs and the left arm, above the elbow. He suffered also numerous contusions and back injuries.
