It comes from the rules on page 35:

JUMP PACKS

"Jump pack units have their normal speed doubled and during the assault
thier normal speed is tripled if they charge into close combat."

CAVALRY

"Cavalry units haveir their speed doubled, and during the Assault phase
their spped is tripled if they charge into close combat."

So, marine assault troops move 20 cm during the move phase. They then
move 20 cm during the assault phase, 30 cm if they enter CC with an enemy
stand. Aspects could move 45 cm if they enter CC. Nothing ever gets
its move quadrupled (as far as I know).
