Is a leader a "unit"?

[Schoenwulf]

See 2.4 Game Scale
Each turn represents fifteen minutes of real time. Each hex is 200 meters (200m) across. Units represent infantry platoons (15-40 men), crew-served weapon batteries and platoons (16-28 men and two to four weapons) and vehicle platoons (three to five vehicles). Leaders represent individuals, and aircraft represent 3 to 12 aircraft.

Units are defined separately from leaders.

Thanks to both of you. Now, I can get an AAR written up for this scenario...sort of figured that they weren't, and have always considered them not to be. But reading that "other" units would be directed, I began to wonder.......
