Benjamin Sisko was never one to back away from a fight unless the situation called for a strategic retreat. But in combat, there was no one he would have rather had by his side than Kira.

As a member of the Bajoran Resistance, Kira was extremely proficient in combat situations. She could handle herself in a one on one fight but was also adept at developing advanced military tactics that could be easily implemented. Kira knew what assets she had at her disposal and how to use the most effectively.

Those qualities became incredibly important so Sisko as time wore on.

Once the Dominion War started, the threat of total annihilation loomed over their heads perpetually. Kira lived that life long before the Federation showed up. She helped Sisko, and the other Starfleet officers on the station, navigate those waters. Kira was as tough as nails and Sisko knew it.
