How do you rank up a leader?
I've had a leader promoted to Captain, and has been on ~10 missions while being a leader, and he still only has rank 1 leadership skills. How do I rank up his leader skills? I can't put him back through leader training either.

Kills does not matter how many missions its all about kills.

I found it, once you do meet the requirements, you re-send them for training in the GWC and then you can unlock the higher level perks.

Just discovered this myself after troop ranked up several times and picked up twenty odd kills. Rather wish I could purge this mod from my game now. Between taking a troop out of rotation for over a week per rankup and having your active squad cleared every mission its become a source of frustration.

36 missions, 89 kills, not a single leadership promotion -.-
How in the world do I upgrade my leader soldier?

You need to train them manually.

They don't show up in the list of trainable soldiers -.-

If they're not in the trainable soldiers list, you can't rank them up yet. They'll have to go on more missions.

There's no easy way to see when they're able to be ranked up.

This is just like long war xcom leaders (except we have training time not billets), you put them in the school each time but they level up tied to the soldier rank:

rookie, sq, and cpl *cannot be trained*
sgt=fireteam leader (1)
lt = squad leader (2)
cpt = section leader (3)
maj = troop leader (4)
col = field commander (5)

Field commander seems to take double time to train.

The best way to use the mod is to rotate soldiers in and out. You will probably only maintain 2-3 leaders rotating due to the training time. Any class you feel comfortable rotating in and out is fine, I chose my rangers so far with mostly passives but its up to you.

The lockout is a little harsh, maybe they should still be available for avenger defense missions, but it certainly encourages you to rotate commanders.

The bonuses you get are quite substantial so I'd say it's well worth working in if you can manage it.
