List of inactive United States Navy aircraft squadrons There are hundreds of Inactive US Navy aircraft squadrons dating back to before World War I . Various sources sometimes refer to these as " disestablished " or " decommissioned " squadrons . However , squadrons are only " established " , " disestablished " , or " redesignated " , while ships are " commissioned " or " decommissioned " . Many squadrons have been re - designated or re - established , etc . making their " lineage " somewhat difficult to chart . Squadrons , including those that have been redesignated , are in the List of United States Navy aircraft squadrons . The US Navy ' s official position is that once a squadron is disestablished , its lineage " dies " , even if the name / insignia is later revived by a new unit . It is not uncommon , however , for these " reborn " squadrons to claim a link to the earlier squadron and assume their traditions and insignia . If a squadron is re - designated with a new name or aircraft ( i . e . , an unbroken link ) , its lineage lives on in the new squadron / aircraft .

Overseas Service Bar An Overseas Service Bar is an accoutrement on United States Army dress uniforms that indicates a soldier has served six months of service in a combat zone . They are displayed as an embroidered gold bar worn horizontally on the right sleeve of the Class A uniform and the Army Service Uniform . Overseas Service Bars are cumulative , in that each bar worn indicates another six - month period . Time spent overseas is also cumulative , meaning one bar could be earned for two separate deployments totaling six months . The original concept of an Overseas Bar began in the First World War with what was known as an Overseas Chevron . An Overseas Chevron was an inverted chevron patch worn on the lower left sleeve on the standard Army dress uniform . The chevron was identical to the Wound Chevron which was worn on the opposite right sleeve . During World War II , the chevron was redesignated as the " Overseas Bar " and the patch adopted its current design of a horizontal bar . For those who had performed overseas service in both the First and Second World Wars , the Overseas Bar and Chevron were worn simultaneously . By the time of the Vietnam War , the Overseas Service Bar had adopted its current name and the patch was now worn on the lower right sleeve , instead of the left . The Overseas Service Bar is a separate decoration from the Overseas Service Ribbon , which recognizes overseas service in any location without regard to whether or not the area has been designated a combat zone . Regulations permit receiving both awards for the same qualifying period of service .
