Soldier rotation
Do not put all your eggs into one basket. Solder rotation is essential, even if your soldiers make it through their missions unharmed you do not only want one squad set-up. Rotate in rookies and lower ranked soldiers to let them have experience. Using rookies as scouts and "cannon fodder" will help your better soldiers survive more frequently, but don't throw them all away. Since if you loose your main squad of best soldiers, your remaining forces might not be strong enough. You're also going to inevitably lose soldiers due to a bad move or a "that's XCOM" moment; even if you don't lose them they might get hit and be sitting in the infirmary for half a month. Even if you have 1 or 2 main soldiers per type, maintain 1 or 2 squaddies in each class so that you know what they're specialty will be and so you have at least one ability to use in combat.
