Missing In Action, better known as MIA, is a casualty classification used by the United Nations Space Command that refers to a member of the UNSC who has been reported missing following a combat mission and whose status as to injury, capture, or death is unknown. The missing combatant must not have been otherwise accounted for as either killed in action or a prisoner of war.
When SPARTAN-IIs or SPARTAN-IIIs are killed, they are reported as Missing in Action or Wounded in Action to create the illusion that Spartans never die. This apparently helped boost morale for the UNSC.[1]
Trivia
- Randall, James, all the Spartans aboard the Spirit of Fire (Alice-130, Jerome-092, Douglas-042), Fred-104, Kelly-087, Linda-058, Tom-B292, Lucy-B091, Ash-G099, Olivia, Mark, Team Katana, John-117, and Gray Team are all Spartans who truly became missing.
- John-117 was considered Missing in Action due to the fact that there was no evidence that he died, despite Terrence Hood's quote, "Hard to believe he's dead."[2]
- During the video log in the level 343 Guilty Spark, the automated video recorder regards Wallace A. Jenkins as possibly MIA, due to the termination of his recording as a result of his infection by the Flood.)
