<p>No. The markerlights are on the transport, not the unit inside. Remember they are separate units, and generally you can not target units inside a transport (template vs. open topped being the exception). Any markerlights on a destroyed unit are removed with the unit.</p>

I see. I thought that the troops and the dedicated transport formed a unit, hence my misunderstanding.

<p>If I place markerlights on a unit that is inside their dedicated transport and subsequently destroy said transport, can I still use the remaining markerlights when I target the disembarked passengers with another unit in the same shooting phase? </p>

Do markerlights put on a unit embarked in a dedicated transport remain on the passengers after the vehicle is destroyed?
