Do I keep gear from a dismissed soldier?

Question

I've noticed that I can dismiss soldiers which removes them from my game. What happens to the items that they might be wearing when they are dismissed?

If I was to dismiss a Colonel soldier in Titan armour, would I lose the armour?

Answer 1

The items the soldiers are wearing will go back to the pool of inventory. On a sidenote, dismissing as an option is due to the fact that soldier's Will will permanently decreased if the soldier was constantly critically wounded in battle.
