Does armor prevent injury? - Black Haired Woman Wearing Silver and Black Helmet

I am asking if, when a soldier takes damage, it first has to get through their health from armor before injuring them.

If, for example, my soldier has 5 health, plus 2 from an item, plus 2 from their armor, how much damage can they sustain before being required to spend time healing? None? 2? 4?
