Estimated casualties from nuclear detonation modeling for trauma only, radiation only injury, and combined injury (radiation plus trauma). Unshielded persons would receive large enough radiation doses to cause death from radiation illness within two months (Von Hippel, 1983). Population density of this area is 200 persons per square kilometer, with one populated place per four square kilometers. Additional targeting difficulties would flow from the fact that roads naturally pass through these cities, towns, and villages and therefore so would many of the military units that would be the targets of battlefield nuclear weapons. In many cases, the roads between towns would be crowded with refugees. Finally, attacking military forces might use urban and refugee “hugging” tactics so as to discourage the use of battlefield nuclear weapons against themselves (Bracken, 1979).

The critical need for public information campaigns for mass casualty response.
