Combat Training 36: Soldier is the middle step of the level 36 Combat Training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. The single objective is to defeat 10 level 36 hostiles, and it needs only warp 1 to start and finish because no system is named. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but level 36 targets are the real bar. The reward is 7,450,000 Dilithium, 650 Premium Recruit Tokens, 265,000 Officer XP and 4 Kras shards.
Combat Training 36: Soldier objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 10 Level 36 hostiles.
The mission’s story line is the same one every Combat Training step uses: test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. No location is given, so you can clear the ten kills wherever level 36 hostiles spawn and your ship can reach.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The warp requirement tells you nothing about difficulty here. What matters is whether your ship can reliably beat level 36 hostiles, ten times over, and whether it can reach the systems where they are found.
The recommended level shows as 1. In practice this mission only makes sense once your combat ship is comfortable at level 36.
Combat Training 36: Soldier rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 7,450,000 |
| Premium Recruit Token | 650 |
| Officer XP | 265,000 |
| Kras shards | 4 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next Combat Training step.
How the Soldier tier grows across levels
Each level of Combat Training has Rookie, Soldier and Veteran steps, and the Soldier step is always a kill count. Current game data for the Soldier steps around level 36:
| Mission | Kills | Dilithium | Premium Recruit Tokens | Officer XP | Shards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 32: Soldier | 10 | 1,550,000 | 550 | 190,000 | 8 Vixis |
| Combat Training 36: Soldier | 10 | 7,450,000 | 650 | 265,000 | 4 Kras |
| Combat Training 38: Soldier | 10 | 16,800,000 | 700 | 300,000 | 10 Vixis |
| Combat Training 40: Soldier | 10 | 42,000,000 | 750 | 350,000 | 6 Nero |
The Dilithium reward roughly doubles every two levels in this range, while the recruit tokens and Officer XP rise in smaller steps. Level 36 is the one in this group that pays Kras shards instead of Vixis or Nero.
Tips
Clear the ten kills as part of your normal grinding. Because the objective is a kill count with no location, you do not need a special trip. Any level 36 hostile counts, so the kills can come from the same hostiles you are already grinding.
Run the full set for the level. Start with Combat Training 36: Rookie, then this Soldier step, then Combat Training 36: Veteran. Each step unlocks the next.
Spend the Officer XP on the officers in your main combat crew. At 265,000, it is a solid boost. The Dilithium is large enough to cover a good chunk of research at this stage.
The full series is listed on the Combat Training missions page.
