Is that the same as "Infantry may not remount as part of ending the overrun", or "Infantry may not remount in the same turn as an overrun they dismount in", or a different context entirely?
"the combat" is the overrun. If they dismount at the start of the overrun, they can't remount at the end of the overrun and continue moving on the vehicle. You have to decide between gaining the defensive advantage of spreading out your target surface vs being able to continue moving with the vehicle after the overrun.

In practice, it's almost never a good idea to stay mounted. The odds of the vehicle surviving for them to keep riding it after the overrun are extremely low.
