| Soldiers are the basic human combat unit in the X-COM series. They can be outfitted with weapons, [[armor]], and [[tools]] to aid them. As they complete combat missions they gain [[experience]] in the form of increased [[stats]] and [[rank]]. A squad of soldiers, possibly accompanied by tanks, is flown to a area of conflict and the soldiers kill/capture the aliens.

| Soldiers in X-COM are not characters in a book. They are units in a combat simulator. They are a name, a picture, and some stats. They have no dialoge, no background, no inner-revelation on the nature of war. They are mortal. If one or all die, they will be replaced.

| Other games spent vast amounts time in character development, telling you how important these people are, and why you should care about them. In X-Com you care about your troops because without them the enemy won't die. You feverently care about a few select troops because training another to that level would take months.
