The '''Casualty Classification''' is a way to determine the status of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldiers. | |||
== | ==Classifications== | ||
*'''[[Killed in action|KIA]]'''- '''K'''illed '''I'''n '''A'''ction. This term is used when a soldier is killed during battle, or deaths resulting from a war. | |||
*'''[[Missing in action|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. | |||
*'''[[Prisoner of war|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. | |||
*'''[[Wounded in action|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 of America|United States Military]].<br /> | ||
*Due to the need to increase morale in the UNSC, SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-III supersoldiers 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. | |||
