If you have any additional information (especially tail codes and names) or any corrections, please let me know.
At the end of the unit-list is a list of abbreviations, sorted by type: Commands, Divisisions, Centers, Wings, Groups, Squadrons and Locations.
I believe that the assignment of 'four digit unit numbers' is related directly to the command structure, and not to the location of the unit. This is only a theory, which I derived out of the compilation of this list.
