The '''Prisoner of War Medallion''' is a medal awarded to [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel who have been [[Prisoner of War|captured]] by an enemy force.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 268''</ref> It is an honorable decoration, though since [[2525]] few [[human]]s have received it. [[Covenant]] forces are notorious for not giving quarter to human prisoners, with the exception of the occasional straggler to execute for sport or when one is required to activate [[Forerunner]] technology. The Prisoner of War Medallion is a rare sight within the ranks of the UNSC, even with the forces' deployments against the considerably more honorable human [[insurrection]]. | The '''Prisoner of War Medallion''' is a medal awarded to [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel who have been [[Prisoner of War|captured]] by an enemy force.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 268''</ref> It is an honorable decoration, though since [[2525]] few [[human]]s have received it.
