When war is fought in a region and the death toll hits 5 digits or more, what are the contemporary on-the-ground logistics for dealing with that many bodies in a war-torn region? Do warring factions prioritize removing their dead? What are the strategies for limiting disease and vermin?

It depends on a lot of factors. Where the battle is happening and a big one. For example when US sailors would die at sea during ww2 they would be draped in a American flag and dumped into the ocean. In other battles bodies are simply left there. Usually this only happens in cases like Stalingrad where’s building by building fighting. I mean they still find bodies in Volgograd (Stalingrad was renamed to this) from the battle of Stalingrad
