'''Wounded in Action''', also known as "'''WIA'''", is a classification used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to denote service members that have been wounded during a battle situation. | |||
When Spartans became missing or were killed they were classified as [[Missing In Action]] ([[MIA]]) or Wounded in Action (WIA), never Killed in Action ([[KIA]]); to give the illusion that [[Spartan MIA Protocol|Spartans never die]]. It also gave the troops of the UNSC more morale. | |||
It is extremely likely that all [[Spartans]] have been wounded in action at some point. <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]].</ref> One SPARTAN, [[Spartan-Cassandra|Cassandra]], is considered one of the WIA. | |||
A second SPARTAN to be WIA was James (Tag Unknown). He lost the lower part of his left arm when attacking a pair of Hunters on Sigma Octanus IV. however he continued to fight and remained an active member of the SPARTAN-II program until his death during the fall of Reach. | |||
