I assume yes, but I cant seem to find it in the rule book.

A simple yes or no answer will be fine.

**BrockRitcey**

If the unit inside is can hold an objective then yeah.

Edit: You're non-dedicated transport can contest an objective, but I assume you mean hold an objective.

**Jaon**

Omg I now realise what a terribly worded post I wrote :S

Yeah I mean can a troop in a say, valkyrie, hold an objective?

Thanks for the answer.

**Dracos**

Why wouldn't it be able to? Putting it in a transport purchased in the fast attack or any other slot doesn't make it lose its troop "status".

**nosferatu1001**

Yes; you measure to the unit by measuring to the hull of the vehicle.

Yes, i do it all the time

**Gwar!**

Well, if you want to nitpick, a unit in a Valkyrie or Vendetta can't, because the hull is 5" up in the air, so won't be within 3" of a ground level objective.

**HoverBoy**

LOL true, altho by inat we use its base for that. Otherwise nothing could disembark normally from it either.
