Random hydra/Strike team euphemism: "Transfered to R&D"
Hydra doesn't have long term disability coverage. Or, really, great short term disability. If you survive a mission but are too badly injured to be useful in a week or two, there are always a couple of entirely non-FDA-approved projects on rapid healing, synthetic flesh or just "what does this compound do?" that you can help out with. It might get you back into action, and if not, your contribution to the improvement of the human race will be honored. Hail Hydra or whatever.
