in strategy games you usually have troops at the frontline whose sole purpose is to die fighting to buy you time to execute your plans or to protect stronger troops. is this something that happens in real life / used to happen before, if so what are the logistics of it, do the troops know that they are most likely goona die, etc..

Around Bakhmut, Ukraine, as we speak, the Wagner Group is using prison inmates to conduct human wave attacks.
They were offered deals where if they fight for…six months, I think…they’ll be pardoned and released. Their chances of dying are fairly high but they decided it beats sitting in jail. We don’t know how many really decided this and how many were coerced.
I don’t have tons more examples, but if it’s happening today you can bet it’s happened plenty of times throughout our history. :/
