美国陆军在北卡罗来纳州举行演习,重点测试在缺乏空中优势的大规模作战行动(LSCO)中快速挖掘临时战场墓地的能力 1。此次演练隶属于“龙契约行动”第二阶段,旨在验证如何高效保存遗体以便战后归还 1。这是自朝鲜战争以来美军首次模拟此类大规模掩埋场景 1。
工程兵部队利用D6推土机进行作业,实测数据显示平均每1小时15分钟可挖掘出容纳20具遗体的战壕 1。尽管理论规划表明一个工程连每24小时具备处理多达2400具遗体的产能,但现场评估发现现有教条与实际装备操作存在脱节,亟需更新相关标准 1。参与演习的Sgt. 1st Class Delbert Ruede坦言:“如果我们明天就开战,我们只能边走边摸索。” 1
在遗体处理的宗教规范方面,Lt. Col. Ruska表示将在安放遗体前对场地进行祝圣 1。该系列演习计划持续深入,第三阶段将于2027年春季继续进行 1。
The US Army conducted exercises in North Carolina to test its ability to rapidly dig temporary battlefield graves during large-scale combat operations (LSCO). 1 This training was part of Phase II of Operation Dragon Covenant, aimed at validating procedures for preserving remains in the absence of air superiority so they could be returned after hostilities. 1 The exercise revealed a disconnect between current doctrine and actual equipment operations, highlighting the need to update standards. 1
Engineers utilized D6 bulldozers to improve efficiency, achieving an average rate of digging trenches capable of holding 20 remains every hour and 15 minutes. 1 Theoretical planning capacity suggests that a single engineer company could process up to 2,400 remains within 24 hours. 1 Sergeant First Class Delbert Ruede stated, “If we went to war tomorrow, we would be making this up as we went along.” 1 Regarding religious protocols, Lieutenant Colonel Ruska explained that the site is consecrated before remains are placed in the ground. 1 The last time such temporary burials were used on a large scale was during the Korean War. 1 A third phase of these exercises is scheduled to continue in spring 2027. 1
