It may be tedious, but it is necessary. This because a significant proportion of squadrons have a "P" - for permanent - withdrawal postscipt on the with draw date. You lose the planes and pilots when they go, so, you need to go and shift all the pilots to the general reserve, and, if possible, downgrade the aircraft to something obsolete before you hit the withdraw button. There are many other withdrawing air groups without the "P" - with those the planes and pilots go to the pools automatically. Notes: 1. If you disband far away from home with a bunch of damaged aircraft, a proportion of those damaged aircraft will not make it to the pool. 2. If the airgroup is on a small base, with not enough supply, you will have to fly it somewhere bigger and/or better supplied to enable it to withdraw (on time or at all). 3. You can't withdraw if there is a fragment left behind. 4. If in a hurry, the best solution is to disband any fragments into another group at that base to delete them, and then disband the parent. 5. I can't remember if you can do Note 4 with a fragment of a "P" withdrawal group. Perhaps not. 6. If you withdraw early, you may get a message enquiring whether you would like to receive some positive number of PPs. Take them. You still get the planes and pilots back.
