New Player Ques - Vehicle Move + Inf Dismount

[HowieWowie 3]

I'm a new player and I'm trying to figure out how to have a vehicle which is loaded with Infantry move to a waypoint and then have the Infantry dismount.  

I can issue the move to the vehicle and at the terminal point I try to select dismount but its not available.

If, after giving the vehicle command, issue a move order for the infantry and they will dismount at the end point of the vehicle command.

Instead of telling the vehicle to dismount the infantry try telling the infantry to dismount the vehicle. I mean put an infantry movement waypoint where you want the infantry to jump out. They won't dismount as long as the vehicle is still moving.

Starting from an IVF and an infantry squad with no movement orders:

If you want your squad to get out when the vehicle gets to a certain point:

1. Give the vehicle movement orders to where you want it to go
2. Give the infantry movement orders to where you want them to go - but plan those movement orders from the vehicle's end location

The vehicle will move out and when it finishes all its orders the troops will dismount and move off.

If you want your squad and the vehicle to move off in separate directions:

1. Give the squad a dismount order followed by a movement order
2. Give the vehicle a movement order

The vehicle will wait for the troops to disembark and then the vehicle will move off following its orders and the soldiers will move off following theirs.
