Tl;dr: 89 fresh cadavers used since 2017 (cost ~860k$) for “hands-on training on non-perfused and perfused cadaver bodies” to simulate battlefield injuries.

Seems like “noble” (?) life-saving trainings to me. I personally wouldn’t oppose to my body being used for that borderline medical use-case.

I wouldn’t oppose such use, either.

But there are those who will say “Over my dead body!”
