''Soldiers are your most important and valuable unit in ''[[EU (2012)|Enemy Unknown 2012]]'' and their death on the battlefield is permanent. Soldiers have distinct classes and their status can be checked at [[XCOM HQ (2012)|XCOM HQ]]'s [[Barracks (EU2012)|Barracks]] facility, where you can also hire new soldiers. They can be equipped with the latest available [[Armor (EU2012)|armor]], [[Weapons (EU2012)|weapons]] and other [[Equipment (EU2012)|equipment]]. Soldiers may also be assigned to the [[OTS (EU2012)|Officer Training School]] in order to progress in rank and gain specific squad abilities. It is also possible to customize your soldiers' name, call sign and physical appearance.''

__TOC__

You may increase your combat troops through the following:
* By hiring them through the Barracks facilities (and sacking them as well).
* By receiving soldiers of specific rank/class as a Funding Council reward for the completion of specific combat missions. You get to select how they skill up.
* Finally there are also 'XCOM [[Hero (EU2012)|heroes]]' - those are beefed up soldiers you can unlock as an Easter Egg but unlocking will disable the achievement score.

==Ranks==
Each soldier also has a rank, starting as a rookie. As he/she progresses through the ranks, the soldier gains additional combat abilities and stat bonuses.

Each class receives specific stat bonuses upon each rank-up: [[Abilities (EU2012)|Abilities]], HP, Aim, and Will. Newly-hired Rookies' stats start at the following base values:
