Transport would be whatever was available, fast and suitable to the mission.
Another role they may have is the acquisition of supplies from enemy supply dumps instead of destroying them. In this case they may move in on foot and steal anything on wheels able to haul whatever can be grabbed quickly.
Agree with the use of mines BUT I. think some AT capability is needed as otherwise a single BRDM would mean disaster. I'll also add a note re the fitting of smoke dischargers to the vehicles to help evade.

Personally I would be somewhat "imaginative" when interpreting orders that involve me rellying on stealing transport to get out, especially considering the condition of many vehicles in TW2000, although to be fair this would be of great use as the war drags on.
