Wounded In Action |
WIA is a three letter abbreviation standing for Wounded In Action.
It is used to describe soldiers who have been wounded while fighting in a combat zone during war time, but have not been killed. Typically it implies that they are temporarily or permanently incapable of bearing arms or continuing to fight. [1]
For U.S. Military members becoming WIA in combat generally results in subsequent honoring with the Purple Heart.
