Killed In Action, better known 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. [1]
There are two other classifications for soldiers,MIA(Missing In Action) WIA(Wounded In Action). These 3 classes for nonactive soldiers were used as early as WWII,created by the allied nations to hopefully make it easier on saying what happened to the Wounded,Missing,or Dead soldiers.
