How do soldiers determine if enemy soldiers who are in the prone position are dead?

Infantry here.
Some hard truths:
1. As you assault through, you shoot everyone with a weapon within 1m of them. Again. Unless they’re making a visible attempt to surrender. There’s a procedure for that too.
2. You clear a corpse as a buddy team, both rifles on the guy, if he moves at you, you shoot him again. eyeball flick/tap is the fool-proof method to see if someone’s actually dead. They can’t suppress that reaction. It’s a reflex not a pain response. You can also see a wounded guy breathing. There are several methods that are circulated like kicking the body in the nuts that don’t work because you’re going to move the whole ass body when you do. Some people, particularly the unconscious don’t react to getting kicked in the shit, but the blink reflex is present until someone dies.
3. All wounded enemies not putting up a fight get treated by a medic, restrained and evacuated to the MPs for detention and follow on medical treatment.
