Mortuary affairs is organized into distinct activities that cover different moments in the handling of remains. The one that specifically deals with the immediate actions when a death occurs in theater—securing the remains, establishing custody, beginning identification and documentation, and coordinating next steps—fits the sub program labeled Current Death. This phase focuses on the rapid, initial processing right after death, which is why it’s identified as a dedicated sub program.

The other terms describe later or broader parts of the process: final disposition refers to the ultimate disposition of remains, temporary internment involves holding remains in a field location for a period, and casualty handling covers general casualty management rather than the specific mortuary-focused sequence of actions taken immediately after death.
