Phil, do a search in the Mega Campaign Sub Forum. I asked this very question long ago (~1 year?). The gist of it was, IIRC, you get experience (0-2 pts) after each scenario randomly. But, you can increase your chance of getting experience by shooting at, and being shot at by, the enemy. Kills don't really make a difference other than for the kill counter. In MC Lost Victories, I have units with 70+ kills and 111 experience. They are murder on the enemy because they rally all the time and they get about 7 shots each turn. Thus you will find your mortar teams won't gain experience as quickly because they don't usually face the enemy directly that much. (example: my 81mm mortar teams are stuck in the low 80s for experience). Bottom line: Shoot at the enemy with direct fire to get experience. I don't recommend using your FOs in direct combat too much, but using them to kill the odd, isolated crew that will be a simple kill will get you experience. I think experienced FOs are far more important than experienced mortar crews (but not so much for US FOs).
