Notes from before the conversion:

If you run deleteVehicle for every playable soldier, the AI units will be removed.

deleteVehicle unit1

will result in some very strange, and unwelcome, things happening.

A safer way to delete unit1 if it is, or might be, inside a vehicle is:

unassignVehicle unit1 unit1 setPos [0,0,0] deleteVehicle unit1

This is because you cannot call deleteVehicle on a unit (soldier) who's currently inside a Vehicle.

The line below works just fine for units that have been deleted.

if (alive unit1) then {hint"He is alive"} else {hint"Oh no he's not"}
