I've had experience with soldiers, and I've judged that it depends on what they've done or what war they were in. A person from the Vietnam war would wake easily and would have to be woken carefully- He or she would be used to being woken up during raids or similar times and woud have to be active and wary of his surrondings. A veteran of the war in Afghanistan would not be so light to sleep, and a veteran of WW1, contrary to popular belief, would sleep heavily due to the fact night raids occurred very rarely and most battles started during the day. Only snipers had constant nightwatch schedules, all other nightwatchers would be selected at random.)

(It's dependent on the person aswell.  When I was in the navy they would drill us so that we would always be ready in case of a ambush or surprise attack (which there never was).  Some people would shoot out of their beds the instant the alarm was sounded, throw on their gear and rush to their stations.  Others would wake up, incrediably groggy and take twice as much time to do so.  We had to wake some of our bunkmates up sometimes because they slept right through the alarm.)
