US Army Conducts Mass Burial Training Amid Concerns Over Potential Iran Conflict
The US Army has resumed training soldiers to dig mass graves for fallen troops, a practice not conducted since the 1950-53 Korean War, in preparation for potential large-scale casualties in a future conflict. The drills, named Operation Dragon Covenant Phase II, took place at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, involving engineering units and military chaplains. This training aims to ensure proper handling, preservation, and identification of remains, reflecting concerns amid ongoing tensions involving Iran.
