For example USAA routinely insures service members and those policies have a rider for dying in combat. And it is only a couple buck for a month on a normal $500k policy. When I retired I took that rider off. Pretty much any insurance company does the same.

I price life insurance for a living. Combat death riders are not common.

I'm going to look at my policy, but I don't think it has any exclusion for combat deaths.

It almost certainly excludes any claims at all from any war between major powers - even your car insurance probably says that.
