The decision to standardize the nomenclature of the radar extension plan units presents certain administrative difficulties in that the temporary aircraft and control and warning units do not conform with the new definitions and therefore it has been decided to disband No. 2 Air Control and Warning Unit, Chatham, NB, and in its place to form No. 21 Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron which will be located temporarily at Chatham pending the availability of accommodation at the permanent site approximately May 53. AOC ADC is to advise AFHQ when this unit is relocated in its permanent site.
