AN Australian soldier has been injured in Afghanistan after a Black Hawk helicopter slammed to the ground.

The unnamed special operations member was one of five Australians on board when the helicopter made a "hard landing" 55kms east of Tarin Kowt on June 11, the Defence Department has reported.

The aircraft was not engaged in combat leading up to the crash.

On return to base, the crew was assessed with one soldier found to be suffering concussion.

"While the wounding doesn't appear to be of a serious nature, all precautionary measures are taken before soldiers are returned to duty," said the soldier's commanding officer in a statement.

All other Australian personnel travelling in the helicopter have since returned to duty.
