16TH CORPS

The 16th Corps (XVI Corps) was a field formation of the United States Army during World War II. Activated in October 1943, it played a significant role in the European Theater, primarily responsible for overseeing operations and logistics in liberated areas behind the front lines. The corps contributed to the management of troop movements, supplies, and the organization of military government in occupied territories. After the end of the war, the 16th Corps was inactivated in December 1945 as part of the Army’s postwar drawdown.
