ack in the Fight— B I Corps As Multi- National Corps-Iraq By BG Peter C. Bayer Jr. n April, I Corps assumed command of Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNC-I) Ifrom the outgoing XVIII Airborne Corps. After a 38-year hiatus, I Corps, histori- cally known as America’s Corps, was back in the fight. Now in the middle of its rotation as Headquarters, MNC-I, it is the last U.S. Army corps to deploy as MNC-I, executing its first deployment as a corps headquarters since the Korean War. Just a few years ago, deploying I Corps into a theater of operations outside the Pacific Rim would have been hard to envision. The 2007 Army global force reposturing plan made I Corps one of three deployable corps head- quarters. At that time, the I Corps staff num- bered fewer than 400, with its operational fo- cus limited to Pacific contingencies, security cooperation and reserve component training.

Guinea and the Philippines during World War II, and honed to a fine edge during the Korean con- flict. Having served in 20 named campaigns over its lifetime, it is the most decorated corps headquarters in the Army. Because of its soldiers’ heroic efforts, I Corps received the U.S. Presidential Unit Citation (Army) as well as the Philippine and Korean Presi- dential Unit Citations. During the undeclared “Sec- ond Korean War” (1968–69), I Corps (Group) com- manded two U.S. Infantry Divisions as well as a Korean army corps along the western sector of the demilitarized zone. Although it provided a com- mand element for northern Iraq in 2004, I Corps has not deployed the entire headquarters since the Ko- rean War. Today I Corps carries its proud legacy to the Middle East to command three divisions and a Marine Expeditionary Force while serving as Multi-National Corps-Iraq. I Corps staff in Korea circa 1950.

April 1951 (National Archives) As I reconstructed the Chinese attack later, it seemed to me that the main thrust had been at the 65th and our boundary with the British. I believe that the enemy attack bounced off us, spilled over on both sides of us and then concentrated on the British and the Turks. BRIGADIER GENERAL (RET.) W. W. HARRIS analyzing, in retrospect, the CCF Spring Offensive Puerto Rico’s Fighting 65th U.S. Infantry (1980) Grave and Ever Present Danger Introduction Korea, April 1951. It was the worst of places at the worst of times. President Truman had relieved General MacArthur from command of the United Nations Command (UNC) in favor of Lt. Gen. Matthew B. “Matt” Ridgway a mere four months after Ridgway had assumed command of the Eighth Army (EUSAK). Although in sympathy with MacArthur’s views of unlimited war, Ridgway concurred with and abided by the President’s politics against another attempt to conquer North Korea or expand the war beyond the Yalu River. Whatever the outcome might be, it had to be within the peninsula. The first of two Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) major offensives, in a final attempt to destroy the UNC forces and score a decisive victory in and for Korea, would fall under the moonlit night of the twenty-second, with half a million communist troops swarming down on the UNC lines.

This conflict has been categorized as a "police action", not a war, therefore little has been published by the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army or by individuals. However, the material available to our historian is believed to be of such importance as to justify its publication in this volume of our official history. While Washington National Guard units did not actually serve in Korea during this "police action", our Air National Guard and certain artillery units were inducted into service to replace like regular air and army units withdrawn for service in Korea. However, many Washington men participated in the action as did the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions, both of which had been stationed at Fort Lewis and other Washington military installations.

    The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18

    The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18 Andrew Simpson University College, London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Abstract British corps command having been neglected in the literature, this thesis sets out to assess what British corps did, and how they did it, on the Western Front during the Great War. It attempts to avoid anecdotal sources as much as possible, drawing its evidence instead as much as possible from contemporary official documents. It is a central argument here that Field Service Regulations, Part 1 (1909), was found by commanders in the BEF to be applicable throughout the war, because it was designed to be as flexible as possible, its broad principles being supplemented by training and manuals. Corps began the war in a minor role, as an extra level of command to help the C-in-C control the divisions of the BEF. With the growth in numbers and importance of artilleiy in 1915, divisions could not cope with the quantity of artilleiy allotted theni, and by early 1916, the corps BGRA became the corps artilleiy commander (GOCRA). In addition to its crucial role in artillery control, corps was important as the highest level of operational command, discussing attack plans with Armies and divisions and being responsible for putting Army schemes into practice. Though corps tended to be prescnptive towards divisions in 1916, and Armies towards corps, a more hands-off style of command was generally practised in 1917, within the framework of FSR and the pamphlet SS13S (and others - to be used with FSR).
