The 860th Bombardment Squadron was consolidated with the 660th Bombardment Squadron in 1985 and they are now a single unit. WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME indicates an article about a unit should be placed at "Name (optional disambiguator)". The name should generally be the official name used by the armed forces to which the unit or base belongs. When a unit has had multiple names over the course of its existence, the title should generally be the last name used; however, exceptions can be made in cases where the subject is clearly more commonly known by one of the previous names. In this case that is appropriate. The unit has never been active as the 967th Squadron, making that name inappropriate. The 860th should be preferred over the 660th designation since the unit's combat participation was under that designation. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
