The code designation "cargo-200" entered the popular lexicon during the Afghan war in 1979-1989. In fact, there are still many different army shipping codes to designate certain cargo. If everyone is more or less familiar with the sad "200th", then ordinary fellow citizens sometimes do not even know about the existence of other similar indices.
Sad "200", happy "300", anxious "400"
Cargo-200 needs no extra introduction. Nevertheless, we recall that it is the saddest, since it designates special zinc coffins for transporting killed soldiers home for burial.
Cargo-300 is also quite disturbing, but much less sad. This index designates living soldiers who are transported from the combat zone to the hospital for injury. Cargo-400 is a separate category of the wounded, namely those soldiers who were overtaken by a shell shock.
The long-awaited "100" and "500"
Cargo-100 is one of the most important "parcels" to the front. Ammunition and equipment are transported under this designation. Literally everything from cartridges and grenades to boots and ship torpedoes is designated 100.
Cargo-500 is no less important. This index during transportation refers to medicines, as well as medical equipment for hospitals.
Especially valuable "700" and "800"
Cargo-700 is an index for designating especially valuable and important goods that can be imported or exported from a war zone. It can be anything you like, if it is of great material value: money, precious metals, works of art, etc.
Cargo-800 is another “especially valuable commodity”. True, this index, as a rule, numbered super important equipment or weapons. In the case of the latter, we are most often talking about the transportation of weapons of mass destruction.
