Sometimes a bad idea has horrible results.
There is a lone island (Nauru) near a shipping lane that is controlled by japan. Allied forces have been flying recon missions over the island for several weeks, and have seen no indication the island was occupied.
Acting on this information, SOUTH sent a portion of the 4th Marine Radier Battalion (including the HQ) abord fast transports to nab the island. After taking the beach the Marines discovered 5000 Japanese hidden in caves and were slaughtered.
Rather than reform the Battalion, the Navy Department has decided to disband the unit. Poof - one unit gone. (okay, this is actually a bug. In the game, when a unit is split and the "lead" element is destroyed, the whole formation vanishes. I lost an entire division this way earlier.)
