While comprehensive casualty data for these conflicts is not available, Figure \ref{figure:casualties} compares LTTE and East Indian logged insurgent casualties for the most recent insurgency episodes. The Naga are one of several insurgencies in East India, but more detailed figures were not available. While the East Indian insurgents suffered about 100 casualties per year, the LTTE’s casualties showed great organizational control: the LTTE surged from 87 to 2,319 casualties between years four and five when their episode began. The LTTE then sustained casualties exceeding three-thousand for the next three years. Over a similar time period, the Naga jumped from 29 to 68, and then never exceeded 218 casualties in a single year. While casualty rates vary, this huge difference in casualties suggests a huge difference in fielded forces that would require remarkably different sustainment strategies.
