The TA's AA units were mobilised on 23 September 1938 during the Munich Crisis, with units manning their emergency positions within 24 hours, even though many did not yet have their full complement of men or equipment.
The emergency lasted three weeks, and they were stood down on 13 October.
In February 1939 the existing AA defences came under the control of a new Anti-Aircraft Command.
In June a partial mobilisation of TA units was begun in a process known as 'couverture', whereby each AA unit did a month's tour of duty in rotation to man selected AA and searchlight positions.
On 24 August, ahead of the declaration of war, AA Command was fully mobilised at its war stations.
