It was last assigned to Second Air Force, based at Fort George Wright, Washington. It was inactivated on 6 October 1943. During World War II, the unit trained large numbers of B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombardment groups. It controlled operational training units (OTU) and replacement training units (RTU) primarily in the west and southwest of the United States until late 1943 when its operations were taken over by Headquarters, Second Air Force and the command was disbanded. It also performed antisubmarine patrols along the pacific northwest coast (until May 1943) HistoryLineage- Constituted as II Bomber Command on 4 September 1941
