Temporary Internment is the mortuary affairs sub-program that runs alongside other casualty management activities. In a real-world scenario, a unit may face multiple casualties and ongoing operations, so remains are placed in a temporary interment status at a secure facility or site. This allows the remains to be properly safeguarded and handled (with appropriate chain of custody and dignified treatment) while identification, casualty notification, family assistance, and planning for final disposition proceed in parallel with the mission. The other terms describe either the initial event of a death (Current Death), the ultimate disposition after all steps are complete (Final Disposition), or a distractor term that doesn’t capture the parallel, interim nature of the process (Concurrent Death).
