Inactive units[edit]

The use of this category for units currently located in a state is clear. What is less clear is how it is intended to treat units formerly located in a state.

Is the intent of this category to list only units currently located in the state?

If not should a unit be included in this category only if its last station was in the state?

Or should a unit be included in the category if it was ever stationed in the state? This seems likely to result in overcategorization.--Lineagegeek (talk) 21:13, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
