How many mortuary affairs teams do you need for 25 KIA?

Mortuary affairs capability is built around throughput for recovering, documenting, identifying, and preparing remains for transport. When the caseload is 25 killed in action, two teams provide enough capacity to handle the work without letting processing fall behind. Each team can take a portion of the remains and carry out the necessary steps—recovery, tagging and chain-of-custody, positive identification, temporary storage, and prep for transport—without overloading a single team. Relying on only one team would risk delays, backlog, and increased potential for errors in handling or identification. Deploying more than two teams would exceed the immediate need for this scale and could divert resources from other critical tasks.
