Thanks to all. That is much clearer now. I was using xAP and xAK , but NOT in an Amph assault. These were 2nd/3rd waves unloading onto an already captured base in the Philipines. The base had a "0" port. I was also looking to (re)load the actual assault troops as quickly as possible.

I infer you mean an amphib re-load? That takes ages over a beach (0 port).

You are better off setting those units (with engineers) to work helping build a useable port up to about level 2, and then reloading them for movement to a non malarial location* to recover properly. All the while they can be preparing for their next objective.

*Don't forget there re some cities/large bases in the malaria zone that are immune. You may not have to go all the way back to Noumea.
