Be aware this might generally function only when
1. the unit as sufficient SMP left (if not, they have to wait until next turn, starting that one with fresh 200 SMPs)
2. the port has enough capacity left to unload the unit, depending on the load weight

Military being military though, there should be an adapt and overcome principle. Therefore, there should be no such thing as a port too small, just a number of turns required to disembark.

Status: offline 		Sometimes its not the HQ but the support units attached to it. No port is big enough to unload SHAEF if you wait until too many units in it. I think game is forgiving though and unless fixed recently I think I've actually transferred units from HQ's in port but still on a ship.

The temporary ports made from invasions have no limit on size of unit debarking.
