Disbanding LCUs - 3/9/2015 4:58:23 PM

Status: offline 		Hi guys,

Would someone mind giving me a quick overview for which units can, and which cannot, be disbanded? For example, I know that restricted NZ units can be disbanded, but AU ones apparently can't. Does this have to do with the HQ, or is it something specific to each unit?

Thanks in advance!

They need to be at one of the nominated national bases - Manila Sydney, Auckland Etc, or off map, or at a mainland? base with more than 250k of supply to disband. Also you won't be able to disband a unit unless it is one that you can buy out or it is due to withdraw ( from memory units due to withdraw out of theatre you don't get the devices in the pool for either).

Thanks for responding!

The units in question are in Sydney. Incidentally, the India home bas is Karachi, right?

So I guess the question is, how do I tell if a unit can be disbanded without moving it to Sydney? For example, one of the units in question is an AU ARM unit. Its restricted, but not permanently.

If its due to withdraw, which I think it might be, I'm not sure I understand the logic if the withdrawal is 1000+ days from now.

Permanently restricted i.e. the HQ can't be changed? That would make sense, but thats not the case here.

Got a screenshot of the unit you're trying to disband?

Here's one....

Yes it's set to withdraw but it makes no sense that that would be the reason why it can't disband.

I agree. 'Withdrawing out of Theater' is different, but with a plain withdraw the devices are going to the pools anyway.

Ah! Thank you for providing the rationale, Bill.

All withdrawing units do, including A/C, afaik.
