It is the American RtPh. No Quarter and KGP Extremely Heavy Mist are in effect.
EDIT - revised the pic to create a situation that is more accurate to what happened in-game - thanks to Mr. Incredible for pointing out some errors in my original pic that cloud the intent of the post.
Both broken units must or should choose L10 as their destination hex. L11 can ignore J11, J12, K12, and K13 due to the mines. While M10 can (and should) ignore M11, it can't do so with L10, and so declares it as its target. L11 also declares L10 as its target, as noone likes being in a minefield.
In order to avoid overstacking, however, and wanting the 9-2 to stay with the death star, can the American player declare L10 as the destination, and then choose to Low Crawl from N10 into L9 and from L11 into K11?
Rationale is that either unit can Low Crawl - nothing says you can't, so long as you don't do it into water, or to leave an enemy-occupied Location. Both are moving towards the destination hex, or at least they are not moving away from it. A10.51 states that "At the start of its RtPh, a routing unit must designate its destination and must attempt to reach it during that RtPh [EXC: if using Low Crawl].
Is this legal? One might argue that even with Low Crawl, a unit which is capable of reaching its destination must do so. A10.51 also says "a routing unit must move to the nearest (in MF calculated at the start of its RtPh) building or woods hex..." but it could be argued that the exception above supersedes this.
Interested to hear thoughts on this.
