21 Mar 05: Have received questions/comments about the battalion's colors, guidons, etc.. What
if the 1-14FA is deactivated, what happens to the all of this? Why not get it put into a permanent museum? The answer is:
The Army activates and inactivates units as requirements change. DOD and Army regulations state that when an active Army unit
is inactivated its property will be turned in for storage. If there are active battalions of the parent regiment on active
duty, the lowest numbered battalion shall be the regimental headquarters and is authorized to maintain the property. If another
battalion of the regiment is activated the regimental headquarters with the property must issue that property to the newly
activated unit. If there are no active battalions, regulations require that the property be put into depot storage, where
it will remain until the battalion (s) are reactivated.
