The '''Casualty Classification''' is a way to determine the status of [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldiers.

==Classifications==
*'''[[KIA]]'''- '''K'''illed '''I'''n '''A'''ction. This term is used when a soldier is killed during battle, or deaths resulting from a war.

*'''[[MIA]]'''- '''M'''issing '''I'''n '''A'''ction. This term is used when the status of a soldier is unknown, whether they're dead, wounded, or simply lost.

*'''[[POW]]'''- '''P'''risoner '''O'''f '''W'''ar. This term is used for anybody, including soldiers who are captured as part of a war. A medal is awarded to any soldier who is captured for any length of time and has either escaped or was rescued.

*'''[[WIA]]'''- '''W'''ounded '''I'''n '''A'''ction. This term is used when a soldier is severely injured in battle, rendering them either temporarily or permanently unable to continue active duty.

==Trivia==
*These classifications were first used by the [[United States|United States Military]].<br />
*Due to the need to increase morale in the United Nations Space Command, SPARTAN-II super-soldiers are never listed as 'Killed In Action', but rather as 'Missing In Action' or 'Wounded in Action' to give the appearance that they are invincible.
