You have to go back to your HQ/starting region and there'll be a couple of new staff members to recruit (for a price) but you can also acquire free soldiers, scientists and technicians as bonuses for completing missions.
When new missions appear on the map there's usually two or three to choose from, each has a different difficulty level and reward for successful completion - I recommend sticking to the easy ones until you have researched and built the 2nd tier weapons and armour, you should even consider skipping missions if your best soldiers are still out of action.
Don't forget about the monthly supply drops either, they're essential early on.
