This is what I could find. The Americans have 11,000 troops and the Canadians have 2,300 of a total of 18,500.
The Americans have had 329 killled.
The Canadians have had 27 killed +4?
The British have had 21 killed.
The Germans and the Spaniards have had 18 killed.
The Romanians 4, the Danes 3, the Dutch 3, the Swedes 2 and the Aussies 1.
The Americans seem to be in overall charge in Afghanistan but a Canadian, Brig-Gen. David Fraser is in charge of coalition forces in Southern Afghanistan, so we seem to be well represented.
Here is an older article about Fraser and it seems our agenda has been changed since than.
