ASLSK#1 3.1 RPh

Hi,
what's the advantage of keeping the DM counter as stated in 3.1.g (A broken unit may opt to keep its DM...)?

Thanks in advance

The unit can go on running out of harm's way... as a unit cannot rout if it is not DM.
A unit may find advantageous to try to rally in a bonus terrain (woods or building), even if it has to stand doing it the first time with the +4 DM DRM.
Now, most of the time, keeping DM is not a deal.
That is ASL : you may do many things, but all is not always usefull...

The likely scenario for keeping DM is that you Low Crawled out of a building to avoid Interdiction but are stuck in Open Ground next to (and I stress that) some good rally terrain (woods or building) or, at least, in a position where you may not be interdicted when you run away again. If your ML is low, it may be better to wait 1 turn and go for better cover or a leader.
