Observational analysis demonstrates shifted casualty evacuation dynamics on the Ukrainian front, indicating battlefield surveillance links troop recoverability directly to information warfare.
Persistent battlefield surveillance has changed the underlying logic of casualty evacuation. Drawing on first-hand observations of operations on the eastern Ukrainian front, Kai Gilmour Gath advances two claims: first, that casualty evacuation should be understood as a central operational problem of modern war rather than a combat-service-support function; and second, that the resulting contest over recoverability is now inseparable from information warfare.
