Can an out of command cavalry unit voluntarily retreat when an enemy unit advances into an adjacent square?
Clarrification of optional rules -voluntary retreat of cavalry unit - must it be in command to utilize?

I think they cannot. The rules say "Out of command units may not move" on page 27.
Even ssuming the unit group had a "Defense" order, if the unit was out of command it doesn't have the benefit of that order, so I'd agree that it is stuck standing its ground and cannot voluntary retreat.
