The squadron was inactivated on 1 October 1994, but reactivated on 1 November 2009 as an Air Force Reserve Command unit at Davis-Monthan AFB (AZ). as part of the 355th Fighter Wing. The 45th Fighter Squadron now trains A-10 pilots. This 231 was retired in August 1992 when it was flown over to AMARG.
