Infobox- I've revised and pared back the date entry in the info box. Per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, the Infobox is to "to summarize key facts that appear in the article. The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose". With military units, there are usually numerous dates relevant to the unit's history. Most unit articles generally only use the infobox to list the date the unit was created (or constituted, etc.) in its original form and also any dates it was inactivated. I concur with user:Hobbamock that the various dates need to be made clear, but the body of the article is the appropriate location for this sort of longer explanation.
