I was very surprised by this. My guess would have been ~1 per year, so ~70.

That being said, it does seem like there's much room for advancement of health monitoring technology to get that number lower.

Doing military stuff is just dangerous in and of itself.

In Desert Storm, the first Iraq War, half of all deaths were not related to combat.

"292 killed (147 killed by enemy action, 145 non-hostile deaths)"
