I had a game once where I ran a unit of 10 Sternguard combat squaded into 5 with combi-meltas and 5 with combi-flamers. I was able to stick them all in one Drop Pod and then split them up when they disembarked. I'm trying to remember why that was legal... I know that if I were sticking them in a Rhino or LR, I wouldn't have been able to split them up into combat squads if they were all riding the same vehicle. What is it that makes it okay to combat squad out of a Drop Pod? (or maybe I'm playing it wrong altogether and I shouldn't have been able to combat squad out of the Drop Pod.)

Because the drop pods own rules allow you to do this...DPs are specifically an exemption to the normal CS rules.

This rule appears in the section of the SM codex on Combat Squads. p.51
