 The plan called for corollary units at 107 locations.It was viewed as the best method to train reservists by mixing them with an existing regular unit to perform duties alongside the regular unit.As part of this program, the squadron was reconstituted as the 496th Fighter Squadron, All Weather and activated at Mitchel Air Force Base, New York in the Air Force Reserves to train as a fighter corollary unit of the 52d Fighter Group of the regular Air Force, moving with the 52d to McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey a few months later.
