Hazard ratios (HR) don't directly translate to life expectancy changes because mortality risk varies with age, making simple percentage calculations misleading. A rough approximation uses a weighted average (e.g., 12.93 years for US males), but accuracy drops if HR effects differ significantly across ages.

The US Army's efficiency-driven sustainment model, optimized for permissive environments, is ill-suited for modern multidomain warfare, where survival under persistent attack determines victory. Historical and contemporary conflicts show that centralized logistics collapse under attrition, demanding decentralized, survivable sustainment networks to match industrial-scale combat endurance.
