Just checked - Dexter doesn't dismember then wrap with cling film, but he does use it as part of his MO. to imprison his victims.
The MO is interesting- that's a big speculation that NM has previously watched Dexter - he could have got these ideas from another forensics drama that I haven't seen. I don't believe he got any of this practical knowledge from the army/just his own imagination.
The clever "saving grace" of Dexter is that it's high quality drama IMO and he is a forensics analyst who is out to murder murderers who have escaped justice and whose crimes are especially heinous. (Ultimately he is psychopathic too of course.)

Anyway, he or they have got these procedures from somewhere..... cannot believe he had a sudden light bulb moment of saws, cling film etc.
As a poster said previously - as a pure accident he would just have been in a total panic and dumped the body in that nearby park without being able to think through his next moves properly....
Cling film is an obviously choice, even if a person hasn't ever watched a crime or forensic programme, simply because it is used everyday to keep things contained, clean and waterproof.
Also, its used when a person has a tattoo done to keep the design covered up and waterproof for the first few days. I've had a couple done in the past, and each time the tattooist taped cling film over it. My son has had his arms tattooed and each time they were wrapped up with clingfilm and then taped over.
