4-Digit Units
From Art and Aerospace Page of Kathryn and Andreas Gehrs-Pahl!
Lots of great articles and links

This list of USAF units with numbers higher than 999 is sorted by number, with empty lines after each 100 group. The data includes: Unit, Location, 'Tail Code', 'Name' - reporting to/part of/Command - (aircraft assigned or type of operations).  At the end of the unit-list is a list of abbreviations, sorted by type: Commands, Divisisions, Centers, Wings, Groups, Squadrons and Locations. I believe that the assignment of 'four digit unit numbers' is related directly to the command structure, and not to the location of the unit. This is only a theory, which I derived out of the compilation of this list.
