I had an idea.

What if you took the system from Shogun 2 Total War?

Say you have a Tactical Squad which you send into battle who recieves exp for capturing objectives or killing enemies, right? Well, if they live through the entire battle/mission without calling for reinforcements, they become Veteran units. You then get to boost some of their abilities or give them new ones, as well as modifying each member of the squad and renaming said squad.
