== Classes ==
Like the base game, soldiers are divided into classes. Soldiers start out as Privates (analogous to Rookies), where they have no class, and when they progress to Specialist (equivalent to Squaddie) they are assigned a class. You have some control over which class the Private is assigned to; when a soldier becomes a Specialist, they will be assigned a specialism of Tactical, Weapons, Marksman, or Support. You can then choose between the two classes for each specialism by choosing the appropriate perk. When assigned to become a MEC each specialism creates one MEC class.

In General

XCOM soldiers are those who risks their lives going on missions. On mission squad setup screen, an arbitrary mix of soldier classes (and SHIVs) can be chosen for the task at hand. Soldier slots can be scrolled with arrows when squad sizes above 6 are available, e.g., on all UFO missions.

XCOM starts with 12 unique soldiers and 2 random soldiers from their starting country. They also start with 0-4 SHIVs (depending upon difficulty). This means a starting barracks size of 14-18. 

Of the initial 12 unique soldiers: 3 will start at LCPLs, 4 at SPECs, and 5 as PFCs (rookies).

Each XCOM soldier costs credits to recruit which vary based on how the campaign is progressing: Recruiting Soldiers.

When recruiting the base gender of the recruit is 1 woman to every 3 men. (This number is determined by a value in DefaultGameCore.ini)

Classes

Like the base game, soldiers are divided into classes. Soldiers start out as Privates (analogous to Rookies), where they have no class, and when they progress to Specialist (equivalent to Squaddie) they are assigned a class. You have some control over which class the Private is assigned to; when a soldier becomes a Specialist, they will be assigned a specialism of Tactical, Weapons, Marksman, or Support. You can then choose between the two classes for each specialism by choosing the appropriate perk. When assigned to become a MEC each specialism creates one MEC class.

Specialism Soldier Classes MEC Class
Marksman   Sniper   Jaeger
  Scout
Tactical   Infantry   Marauder
  Assault
Weapons   Gunner   Goliath
  Rocketeer
Support   Medic   Shogun
  Engineer

Starting Roster

Outside of 2 random PFCs and 0-4 SHIVs, this is the starting roster of every LWR campaign (with the exception of campaigns using the Fresh Recruits second wave option or start bonuses that affect it).

Special Reward Soldiers

While many missions offer soldiers as a reward, some council missions give unique soldiers with preset classes, stats, ranks, and quirks. Some ranks scale with month. There are also 2 unique soldiers you can get from an event.

Tactical Advice

The Long War Rebalance classes are all designed with certain roles in mind, and they work best if they have other roles that synergize with them. For example, a Gunner's ability to Suppress works well with an Assault, as the Gunner can pin an enemy and prevent it from overwatching while the Assault moves up for a flank. Alternatively, a Medic can cancel out overwatch fire for the Assault using Concussion Grenades with Smoke and Mirrors, allowing the Assault to move up, providing cover with a Smoke Grenade afterwards.

The roles your soldiers are designed to fulfill, i.e., your build composition, are far more important than the individual strength of a soldier and their abilities. If your Engineers, Rocketeers, Infantry, and Goliath MECs are all built to use explosives for the role of cover destruction and AOE damage, you may have to build your Shogun MECs as something other than more explosives.
