520 _a"Until recently, heavy casualties were presumed to be an inevitable consequence of warfare. It was not until the Gulf War of 1991 that another possibility began to emerge. Prior to the Gulf War, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that the casualties would reach 15,000. Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of coalition forces, estimated 5,000. That didn't happen....Total casualties for the coalition were 247 battle deaths and 901 wounded." (AIR FORCE MAGAZINE) This article describes how "the evolution of casualty rates in warfare is a function of changes in both military technology and in strategic concepts of operation."
