When [[ | When Spartans became missing or were killed they were classified as [[Missing In Action]] ([[MIA]]) or Wounded in Action (WIA) but never Killed in Action ([[KIA]]); to give the illusion that [[Spartan MIA Protocol|Spartans never die]]<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], ''Kurt kept the tradition....recording himself, as well as..., as MIA''</ref>. 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]] (tag unknown) , 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]]. | |||
