What soldiers do
The Military Tycoon Wiki describes soldiers as NPCs obtained from rare or legendary packs. When spawned, they act as bodyguards to the player. That makes them useful as mobile support rather than static decoration.
Gear is broader than weapons
The wiki separates gear into several functional groups. Defensive gear includes armor and shields; healing and repair tools include medkits and vehicle repair equipment; semi-offensive tools include items such as grenades, sentry systems, UAV-style equipment and explosives; other utility gear includes mobility and visibility tools.
Defense and protection
Armor changes how long you can stay exposed during infantry fights or base attacks. The gear list includes multiple armor tiers and specialist options, showing that personal survivability is a progression track of its own.
Healing and vehicle repair
Medkits and repair tools reduce downtime. In a long fight, the ability to restore a player or vehicle can be more valuable than carrying one more offensive item.
Utility and semi-offensive gear
Tools such as smoke, grenades, sentry equipment and UAV-type gear let players shape a fight instead of only dealing direct weapon damage. The best loadout depends on whether you are raiding, defending or supporting a vehicle.
Rebirth requirements
The Gear wiki notes that many items unlock through rebirth requirements, with a number of them becoming available after multiple rebirths. This connects personal equipment progression to the broader prestige system.
