Killed in action

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. The Spartans II's would put a fallen member's status as KIA or WIA, they even did so for a few fallen Spartan IIIs.

There are two other classifications for soldiers, MIA (Missing In Action) and WIA (Wounded In Action). These three classes for non-active soldiers were used as early as World War I, created by the allied nations to hopefully make it easier on saying what happened to the wounded, missing, or dead soldiers.
