In CCPh, unit A withdraws into a friendly controlled Location occupied by a friend B and a Concealed Enemy unit C, in a not yet solved CC situation. Does A die as per A11.21?
If A could survive, can the opposite player invoque A12.14, forfeits C concealment and forbids A's withdrawal after its declaration?

I believe he would be destroyed. The enemy loses his concealment.

Concealment can be dropped prior to the withdrawal target being given but why would you?

"A" would die as per A11.21, though your second idea should be possible.

I am guessing the opponent is afraid of the RS. If the friendly unit withdraws into a hex with concealed enemies, that unit is eliminated and an enemy unit is unconcealed chosen by RS. If the enemy simply revealed a weaker unit before the withdrawal happens (though after it is declared), he could keep a more important unit concealed.

I see no reason why he can't do this, but by revealing a unit beforehand, the withdrawing unit can select another location to move into.

All true? I think so...

A11.2-.21 seems to be your answer (RS or voluntarily dropping concealment prior to withdrawal). G.4 DETECTION seems only to apply during the MPh as HIP units would have to be revealed (albeit still concealed) at the start of the CCPh, thus still invoking A11.2-.21.
