I felt that is was simply an organization to fight VM as well.  It disbanded
at his apparent demise but existed for unknown length before that.
Otherwise, all the people Moody pointed out to Harry that died did so in a
very short time frame- and in service to Harry/ Neville (talk about a guilt
trip).  I'm sure it disbanded with the promise that it would revive should
it be needed (with VM's return).
