We do have a ruling by Perry:
Question:
B23.424, E6.1, H1.24
Does a Commando (H1.24) MMC that jumps from an upper Building Location into a Water Obstacle as per E6.1 and - provided it survives - is henceforth represented by an Unarmed Unit, retain its Scaling ability (B23.424) as to be able to climb up to the Cliff again from the Water Obstacle to retake Control of the Building?
Answer:
Unarmed units do not have Scaling ability.

Note that my question has been imprecise. I should have asked whether Unarmed Units retain their Commando ability as per B11.433 which reduces the chance of Falling.
B11.433 COMMANDO: Gurkhas, or any unit specified by SSR or DYO special purchase as Commandos are specially trained and equipped for climbing. Commandos are prevented from Climbing a cliff hexside only on a Final Falling DR of 12 and eliminated only on a Final Falling DR ≥ 13 (11.41).
Nevertheless, Perry's answer provides us with the insight that Unarmed Units do not seem to retain Special Abilities that their parent units might have had.
