Beginning in October 1960, the squadron began transferring its B-47s to other SAC units and became non-operational.

Within the United States SAC units flew many simulated attacks on major metropolitan areas.

However demobilization was in full swing and few SAC units were actually equipped and manned.

The equipment and remaining personnel were reassigned to other SAC units.

The wing was the first SAC unit assigned to New England.

Demobilization meant that the group turned in its aircraft and was inactivated on 31 March 1946, never becoming an operational SAC unit.

In February, it began operating a B-29 transition training school and standardized combat training for all SAC units.

The squadron was inactivated on 1 April 1966 and its aircraft were reassigned to other SAC units.

The message ordering an increased state of readiness would now be sent to all SAC alert units in the United States.

Aircraft were reassigned to other SAC units as replacements in late 1959 and 1960 becoming non-operational.
