Suppose a squad of assault Marines is on top of a hill and wants to charge an enemy unit on ground level. Must the charging unit make base to base contact with the enemy unit?

DakkaDakka is really the place where you need anti-tank guns to kill basic dudes, because anything less isn't durable enough. |

The rules for charging. They only have to get within 1" to successfully complete the charge. Jump Infantry or FLY make no difference in this regard.

As BCB states, you only have to be within 1" to successfully charge. This is in the charging rules that GW has put out for free in the battle primer.
In fact, it''s better to not be in base to base contact, as when you pile in you can adjust your positions as long as you end up closer to the closest enemy model. If you are in base to base contact you can't make the move because you can't get closer than base contact.

Pg 182, 4. Make Charge Move, third sentence, is where you can find your answer.

Since this is in the free Battle Primer there should be no problem with wholesale quoting: Tools of War wrote:Distances in Warhammer 40,000 are measured in inches (") between the closest points of the bases of the models you’re measuring to and from. If a model does not have a base, such is the case with many vehicles, measure to and from the closest point of that model’s hull instead. You can measure distances whenever you wish.
