Eg
1st SS Pz Div
39.1, Mo83, :1stSS Pz: 16107, 127, 130.

From the manual:

23.2.1. Units in the EF box
Each ground unit has its east front CV listed (motorized
units are worth double CV in the EF box), as well as its
morale (Mo) and number of men, guns and AFVs. Air
Group Units information includes East Front CV, morale,
aircraft model, and number of ready, damaged, and
reserve aircraft. Colored text for the names of units in
the East Front box will signify special status, with purple
for refitting units (similar to the boxes around refitting
units on the map), orange for unready units, and red
for depleted units. Selecting the [W] next to a unit will
send the unit to the Western Front at an admin point (AP)
cost. The unit will be immediately removed from the EF
box and will arrive as a reinforcement on the map area
one turn later (19.1.1). Air group units transferred to
the West Front will in the air national reserve one turn
later (8.5). Note that Air group units assigned to airbase
units that are captured due to the movement of the EF
front line will be automatically transferred to the air
national reserve. For ground units other than HQ units,
[F] indicates the unit is in the front line and that its CV will
be counted for combat purposes. Selecting [F] will toggle
to [R], which takes the ground unit off the front line and
places it in refit mode (20.6.7). Units in refit mode will not
be counted into the combat totals on the Eastern Front.
If a unit is unready or depleted it will be marked with a (u)
and if it is depleted, it may be disbanded by pressing the
[X] that will display next to the unit. There is no AP cost to
disband a depleted unit in the East Front box.

Good grief no wonder I didn`t see it. Big chunks of the manual are like this, and it would be much easier to find what you want if it were broken up into paragraphs. :)

But thankyou for pointing it out.
