Mobile units supporting adjacent attacks??

Checking the combat reports I noticed that all units adjacent to enemy unit(s) being attacked support the attack.
Units in mobile status, no arty equipment assigned or with limited cooperation with the friendly attacking units.
And doing so they lose supply and readiness as if they were really ordered to attack.
Is this normal? And what's the rationale behind this?

I have observed this, too. But the supporting(?) units don't use supply/readiness.

And they're only listed as supporting when the attacking unit doesn't break off.

From the toaw_log it seems the supposedly supporting units actually don't take part in the combat.

But has this been introduced by 3.4? I think I've seen this with ACOW.

So the loss on supply and readiness I verified on the mobile units must be due to enemy disengagement "fighting"

That's reassuring
