CACO Terminology
Posted on 10/22/2024

A casualty is a member of the military unable to fulfill their duties due to death or incapacitation by injury or illness.

However, knowledge is power, and we firmly believe that educated families are better able to handle the rollercoaster of deployment emotions. So, let's dig into some terminology and procedures.
