Prisoner of war
Missing in action
Any branch of service.
When I was younger, and the Vietnam war was going on, they had POW/MIA bracelets. It was a plain metal band that had the name of a POW or MIA, and you were supposed to wear it until they came home, one way or another.

Prisoner of War, and Missing in Action. I don't think there are any military specifications.
