There are many positions in every battle which are relatively safe as compared to other positions like - Logistical Support: Soldiers deployed on logistical support are less exposed to the front-line battle and have to deal with ration and ammunition supplies issues only. Occupied territories Duty: Whenever some territories get occupied some soldiers are kept there to maintain law and order so they have relatively safe as compared to front-line soldiers. Coastal Defense: Some Soldiers also kept on coastal protection but most of the battles fought on land and coastal areas are relatively safe. Anti-Aircraft Units: Soldiers on Anti-Aircraft units are relatively safe as they are mostly working from hidden places so chances of full-scale war are less there.
