No, I believe strategic resource dependent units will function at half strength until the resource is restored.

From Civ 5 wikia site - Resources:

On the other hand, if the civilization loses access to some of the strategic resources they are currently using, and find themselves using more than they're producing or trading, then military units depending on the resource in question will fight with a large combat penalty, until the situation is remedied.
