How to send pilot to TRACOM

I read in my manual that if the pilot's name is yellow they can be sent to the TRACOM command.

I'm trying to send a MAJ G. Boyington there but when I click on his name it only lets me send to the Group pool and not TRACOM.

What am I doing wrong?

I tried both right and left click and both try to send him to the Group Reserve

edit:
found out it's a two step: 1-from squadron to reserves and 2-from reserves to TRACOM

I was trying to do it directly from the squadron

The game is a little finicky.
Sometimes you have to do the two step process.And sometimes you don't....GP

To be clear - one option is the Group reserve which is called "Group" in the 'Send to' area. The other option is called "Reserve" which is the General Reserve. It can take a while for pilots sent there to show up in the pool so don't get discouraged about that. I don't use the TRACOM so I can't speak to that process.
