P48 Conditions of Support
3rd bullet
For a unit to provide support a unit must not be disordered, and not have an action marker and not be engaged by the enemy in fire or shock combat to provide fire support

The paragraph you mentioned on p53 also says A unit with an action marker may no longer engage in fire combat but may return fire.

Plus page 50 Timing of shooting “A unit may initiate fire combat only once per turn. It then receives an action marker. However a unit fired upon can still return fire” ...
