And the critical limit seems to be over 50 % casualties. And you can still load them on transports if you really need to get them to move reliably.

That said, units that are this badly mauled are IMHO better kept away from serious fighting unless you are desperate - due to their losses they have reduced firepower, and they can easily get destroyed/dispersed if they take a few more casualties (giving your opponent more victory points). And in campaigns their loss is even worse, since you will both lose any experience gained, and require more repair points to get them going again.

Therefore, I might be wise to move such units into some good, defensible position, where they can stay hidden and keep an eye on captured victory points or some other important areas. But try to avoid spots that might attract enemy artillery fire.
