Motivation Level (and leadership) can be regarded as a skill and be
expressed as a D4 to D12.

Motivation
Level		Dice
-----		----
0		D12	Elite - Promote this soldier!
1		D10	Veteran
2		D8	Regular
3		D6	Green
4		D4	Untrained - Demote this soldier!

If you regard ML 2/D8 as average, then:

.	Points
ML	Cost
--	------
0	+10
1	 +5
2	  0
3	 -5
4	-10

Alternatively, redoing this chart:
>QUALITY RATING:
>UNTRAINED		5 points
>GREEN		10 points
>REGULAR		15 points
>VETERAN		20 points
>ELITE		25 points

QUALITY RATING: Cost:		ML:	Cost:
--------------- -----		--	-----
UNTRAINED		 5 points	4	 +5
GREEN			10 points	3	+10
REGULAR 	15 points	2	+15
VETERAN 	20 points	1	+20
ELITE			25 points	0	+25

So a elite with only one day to go (ML 4) costs: 25 + 5 = 30 points.
Untrained Fanatic (ML 0): 5 + 25 = 30.
Regular (ML 0): 15 + 15 = 30
