Cargo 200 (code name) Cargo 200 (code name) Cargo 200 (, "Gruz dvésti") is a military code word used in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet states referring to the transportation of casualties. Officially, the term "Cargo 200" is military jargon to refer specifically to the corpses of soldiers contained in zinc-lined coffins for air transportation. Unofficially, "Cargo 200" is used to refer to all bodies of the dead being transported away from the battlefield, and as a euphemism for irreversible losses of manpower in a conflict. The first appearance of "Cargo 200" is unknown, except that it came into use in the mid-1980s
