Never used th drop pod in this way so I don't know..

The drop pod is open topped so the squad disembarking can IMMEDIATELY ASSUALT?

no as per the rules for deepstriking in the BGB

ah ... all right... also the squad is considered entering in DS so... I wasn't sure about that... I used to bolter enemies after disembarking, not assualting 'em so i never noticed...
Thanks a lot!!!

The squad cannot assault because there is a prohibition in the drop pod entry itself that says they cannot.

Yep, the deep strike rules and the drop-pod rules say you can't assault.
