'''Killed In Action''', better known to the world as '''KIA''', is a classification used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] that denotes the death of a soldier during/after a combat mission or situation.

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 and can never die.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 249</ref>

-Due to the need to increase morale in the UNSC armed forces, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] issued [[ONI Directive 930]], requiring that [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program]] casualties be listed as [[Missing in Action]] or [[Wounded in Action]], to create the illusion that such personnel were invincible. The SPARTAN-IIs would put a fallen member's status as MIA or WIA on their team's rosters.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 249''</ref>
