Cargo 200 (Russian: Груз 200, Gruz 200) is the code word referring to casualties for transportation in the Soviet and modern militaries of post-Soviet states.[1][2][3][4] In its official meaning, Cargo 200 refers to bodies contained in zinc-lined coffins, but in military context this code word can be used for dead bodies as they are transported from the battlefield.
Cargo 300 is the code for wounded soldiers.[5]
