Of course such technology can be used to create super-soldiers.

Is Teleportation Possible...?

http://www.learning-mind.com/is-teleportation-possible-and-how-much-time-does-it-require
This is much more than just a thought experiment.
http://artbell.com/is-teleportation-possible-and-how-much-time-does-it-require
There has been serious research into this matter over the past several decades.

The Feasibility of Teleportation

This actually gets into the recording & transmission of data.

Unless a persons consciousness can instantly reconnect with the new location of their physical body, there will just be a humanoid without memory & consciousness.

However, a persons consciousness might automatically be linked to the physical body, especially at the molecular level.
At the subatomic level, the physical life form is more of an interaction of data, energy & consciousness.
