Not deactivation, but divestment[edit]

Dear Lineagegeek would you kindly please reach into your records and see if you can find some authoritative lineage for the 198th AS, including a most recent inactivation date? I do not wish to retain "divestment." Buckshot06 (talk) 05:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware of this action, but 1 January 2020 is a possible date. The organizational action was most likely "inactivated and withdrawn from the Air National Guard." I have found one fairly accurate but NR site that gives the date as 31 Dec 69 [1]. The 1946 entries there do not agree with Maurer, e.g. (no "reconstitution"), so I gather that came from an old unit web page, while the date was from a press release. Unfortunately, it is likely to be off by a day. People tend to think that when one AF organization goes away and another starts up, they happen on consecutive days, but the usual USAF practice is to schedule them the same day, so the conversion of the 156th to a continency operations unit is most likely 1 Jan 2020. In cases like this, I am usually comfortable with giving a date of c. 31 Dec 2019. Lineagegeek (talk) 15:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
