Single term for "non-fatal casualty"

from my Marine Corps days, I recall that "casualty" implies the basic idea of removing a Marine from being an active combatant. This can occur through severe injuries, death, capture, going UA, etc.

The term casualty, then, can apply to deaths and all those other things, lumped into the phrase "non-fatal casualty." Is there a single word that captures that same meaning? I feel that there is, but can't remember! Or, I could simply be wrongly remembering that there was a single word... in which case, curses on getting old.


The word incapacitated can be used to describe a soldier that is no longer able to fulfill their duties.

: to make (someone or something) unable to work, move, or function in the usual way
Merriam-Webster

It seems to show up in military material as a term similar to disability for civilians. For example:

DA PAM 135-381 (Incapacitation of Reserve Component Soldiers Processing Procedures) defines Incapacitation (INCAP) as a physical disability due to injury, illness, or disease that prevents the performance of military duties, or which prevents the Soldier from returning to the civilian occupation in which the Soldier was employed at the time of the injury, illness, or disease.

WIA (Wounded in action) or Medical casualty is as far as I get.
