As Jeff said, often there are scenarios based specifically on getting troops off the map. Since I don't know what scenario you are playing, it's hard to determine what tactics are best employed.

Eagles Strike - Bouck's Band - Playing as US

What I am gathering from the answers, though Ed, your link did not function, is:

1. Units can exit the map.
2. The opponent does not receive VPs for those units as if they were destroyed.
3. I am not referring to "Exit Objective" hexes, merely exiting units to keep the VPs from the opponent. (Note: as the scenario progresses, the German does not seem to have armor, so perhaps this is a moot point after all. But I did not know that, and perhaps armor will come as reinforcements. I like to play, when possible, without starting a solo scenario to know that the other guy has. More fun for me.)
4. "Gamey" - possibly, depending upn the actual player and the situation. Jeeps are low value VP units anyway (at least I think so) so moving them off map is okay here. Like the transport unit moving off the line - one would expect that. And who knows - next time I play this scenario, perhaps I will use them in a flying column to hit the flank of the German approach. Though the snow conditions pretty much negate the "flying" attribute!
5. Thanks as always to all who responded. I get smarter and better with every PBEM game!
