Offboard actions allowed during movement

[lt_steiner]

A2.51 states that offboard units may move normally on the offboard map so as to enter the mapboard on a hex which is not adjacent to the one they set up in. And A2.52 says that no action is allowed by units offboard awaiting entry. Action is not defined in the index. During the movement phase, may offboard units perform movement-related actions such as double time declaration, changing BU/CE status, VCA changes, stopping, starting, delaying, loading/unloading, abandoning and scrounging vehicle by a crew, so long as the involved unit enters mapboard at the end of the MPh?

double time declaration, YES
changing BU/CE status, YES
VCA changes, YES
stopping, starting, delaying, YES
loading/unloading, NO
abandoning and scrounging vehicle by a crew NO
