If there is no reachable Woods or Building hex, a squad can route where every he wants assuming it does not violate the other routing rules. So the question: is can a broken unit pick any hex to route to as long as it it not "Open Ground" as defined by
A10.531 OPEN GROUND: For purposes of rout determination, Dash, concealment gain/loss, and Interdiction, an Open Ground hex is any hex in which the particular enemy unit(s) could apply, during a hypothetical Defensive First Fire opportunity (regardless of what attacks it actually made in previous phases), the -1 FFMO DRM. ...
This would include a hex that is devoid of a TEM or a Hindrance including an open ground hex as defined by
B1.1 Open Ground is any hex devoid of other printed terrain features which would affect fire or LOS into that hex. The most common form is any hex covered uniformly in light green such as 2B1. However, there are many other types of Open Ground hexes.
Therefore a Broken unit that can not reach a Building or Woods hex that is next to a Know Enemy unit (unbroken) could theoretically pick his route destination as a hex that is one hex away without having to declare Low Crawl as long as the hex is not A10.531 Open Ground, but is B1.1 Open Ground
