standing up in the air-air role

So what is all this stood up/standing up b0ll0cks all about then ? It's only beecome part of the RAF lexicon fairly recently. Has it come from the creeeping green influence ? Didn't we used to form squadrons and the like, rather than stand them up ?

S_H
I was always led to believe that the opposite of "stand down" was "stand to", not sure where this "stood up" rubbish has come from.
