In a previous edition I was criticised by a reviewer for using words ‘which have no relevance to aerospace’. I read their meanings through several times and decided not to include any in these pages. They explained ‘These actions are defined in ways that may seem arcane to the nonspecialist, but each term has a specific meaning.’ The terms are: Activate, Active list, Assign, Attach, Consolidate, Constitute, Designate, Disband, Disestablish, Establish, Establishment, Inactivate, Inactive list, Organize, Provisional organizations, Redesignate, Re-establish, Relieve from active duty, and Unit. I recently studied a list of terms used by the US Air Force to describe the status of each of its component organizations.
