A soldier earns experience during combat. After the mission, the soldier will then earn a random amount of stat increases. What stats are boosted depends on what sort of experience was earned during combat.
The list of experience that a soldier can earn during combat are:
General Hits: How many times you hit an enemy target with any shot or any area effect weapon such as rockets, grenades and stun bombs. Influences: Time Units, Stamina, Health, Strength and Firing Accuracy.
Melee hits: How many times a melee attack (eg Stun rod)succeeded against an enemy target. Influences: Time Units, Stamina, Health and Strength
Psionic Hits: How many times a psionic attack succeeded against an enemy target. Influences: Time Units, Stamina, Health, Strength and Psi Skill
Number of times Unit has Panicked: How many times the unit suffered from severe morale loss (Morale < 0). This positively influences Time Units, Stamina, Health, Strength and Bravery.
Number of times Opportunity fire was used: How many times a soldier performed a reaction shot. This not only influences Time Units, Stamina, Health, Strength and Reactions, the shot, if it hits, is counted as a general hit. This stat has the potential to do double the work.
Number of times objects were thrown: This experience counter is the simplest of the lot. It counts how many times the soldier has thrown an object. It only influences Throwing Accuracy.
Take note that a soldier CANNOT increase strength by being overly encumbered.
Also take note that a soldier does not necessarily get more experience from the number of kills that are made. A soldier with 16 one-shot kills will have the potential to earn just as much experience as a soldier who killed one alien with 16 shots. A kill is synonymous with a single hit, however it is not synonymous with the amount of effort that was put in. This is a very good reason for soldiers to hang on to weaker weapons such as pistols - if only for training purposes.
With the exception of Psi Skill training in the Psi Lab, all stats can only be trained through combat experience.
Any combat experience earned will influence promotions. The soldier with the highest amount of experience in total will have the best chance of being promoted to the next rank. Yes, panicking counts towards a promotion as well.
