Air Force Reserve Command plans on Sept. 30 to deactivate its 92nd Aerial Port Squadron, which has operated out of the Wyoming Valley Airport in Luzerne County, Pa., since 1961, reports The Times Leader. The unit currently is trying to place its 130 Reservists with other units in the northeast. The 92nd APS is just one of several isolated Reserve units slated for deactivation as it cuts personnel under USAF’s planned 40,000-full time equivalent position drawdown.
