If XCOM leaves behind soldiers (for example, leaving behind unconscious units on missions requiring an EVAC, or running out of time on a council mission)ADVENT will capture them. For the time being, XCOM will not be able to use these soldiers on their strike teams, but they may appear later in the game as rescue targets during council missions, retaining their rank and abilities.[1]
XCOM 2 : War of the Chosen[]
In addition to ADVENT capturing troops you leave behind, all three of the Chosen can now also kidnap soldiers that were dazed beforehand, to do so, they will get in close and use the kidnap ability, teleporting out of the AO with the soldier they kidnapped. The operative will then be interrogated, increasing the chosen's knowledge. A covert operation will, after a while, be offered by the resistance factions to unlock a special rescue mission.
