US drills for 2,400 war dead
In October, U.S. military units conducted exercises near Fort Bragg in North Carolina to test the establishment of temporary burial sites under Operation Dragon’s Oath, in preparation for the possibility that the dead could not be evacuated during a large-scale war. The Army estimated that an equipped engineering company could dig and backfill sites for up to 2,400 bodies within 24 hours. The estimate was based on the average time needed to prepare a trench for about 20 bodies—one hour and 15 minutes; that number was not actually used in the exercises. Troops used skeletons and water containers to simulate bodies, while testing procedures for preserving and documenting them ahead of their eventual recovery. The Army stressed that temporary burial is an exceptional measure, not a substitute for returning remains to the United States.
