The word was it was a trade off to keep from axing one of the Groups.

Yep - the 6th ODAs went away in '81 (at least for us in the 7th SFG) and came back later - it kept the 7th "on the books" until the turn-around began in the mid-80s.
As far as AD Groups went, by the summer of '74 we had gone from having the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th SFGs to having the 5th (3 Bns at FBNC), 7th (2 Bns at FBNC and 1 Bn in the CZ), and 10th (2 Bns FDMA and 1 Bn of only 2 Companies in Bad Tölz). Groups had lots of 11B/11C//12B, critically short of 05B/91B.
And so it goes...
