Date operational

I've removed a statement that the squadron became operational on 30 March 1961. This statement appears in the SAC Missile Chronology, but in full states that the "549th Strategic Missile Squadron at Offutt AFB, Nebraska . . .". The squadron did not move to Offutt until July. This entry also says "The deployment of the Series D Atlas force was completed . . ." The squadron was equipped with Atlas Es at the time. These two statements make it clear that this reference is to the 566th Strategic Missile Squadron, which swapped locations and equipment with the 549th in July 1961. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:19, 9 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
