+'''Killed in Action''', better known as '''KIA''', is a casualty classification used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] that denotes the death of a serviceman during or after a combat mission or situation.
+Due to the need to increase morale in the UNSC armed forces, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] issued [[ONI Directive 930]], requiring that [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program]] casualties be listed as [[Missing in Action]] or [[Wounded in Action]], to create the illusion that such personnel were invincible. The SPARTAN-IIs would put a fallen member's status as MIA or WIA on their team's rosters.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 249''</ref>
