In a highly unusual exercise, the US Army has practised digging mass graves for fallen soldiers. While the exercise is unusual, it is not unprecedented. The US Army carried out similar preparations during the Korean War. But why is it doing so now?
According to the Army, the exercise is a test to prepare for the possibility of a future war. According to reports, US Army soldiers in North Carolina recently completed a test-of-concept exercise focused on large-scale temporary battlefield interments. Personnel from the 3rd Corps Sustainment Command (3rd CSC), the 20th Engineer Brigade, both based at Fort Bragg, and military chaplains participated in the exercise. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,
The US Army has practiced digging mass graves for fallen
soldiers to prepare for a possible future war, according to news reported by
The Economic Times on November 1, 2026. This is the first time the military has
conducted such exercises since the Korean War in the 1950s.
Could America's next war reach the US soil?
"The American military has largely operated on a familiar premise: combat the enemy overseas before the fight reaches home. But as drones, cyberattacks, and long-range weapons pose growing threats to U.S. military installations and critical infrastructure, Army leaders are preparing for a future in which American forces could come under attack before they ever deploy overseas."
Just seven days ago, on October 25, 2026, Fox News reported: "The Pentagon is preparing U.S. military bases to keep operating for at least 90 days without outside support as it prepares for the possibility of a major war that could cripple power grids, disrupt supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on American soil."
A lot of people in the US sense that something big is coming, and that it isn't good. We seem to be living in the lull before a cataclysmic storm. Will we avoid being hit by this threat? Only time will tell..
