- MIA - Missing In Action. This term is used when the status of a military combatant is unknown, whether they're dead, wounded, or simply lost.
- POW - Prisoner Of War. This term is used for anybody, including soldiers who are captured as part of a war. A medal is awarded to any military combatant who is captured for any length of time and has either escaped or was rescued.
