Rules of Engagement / Pop Quiz

Splitting off in vehicles: A squad in a transport has a character joined to it. What rules govern this squad, i.e., can the squad get out but the character stay onboard the vehicle? Later, can the vehicle just drive away? Does a designated transport HAVE to stay in unit coherency? DT’s are basically just units that aren’t on the force org chart.
