VII Corps

VII Corps is a distinguished formation of the United States Army, first activated during World War I in 1918. It played a significant role in World War II, participating in key operations such as the D-Day landings at Normandy and the subsequent campaigns across France and Germany. Reactivated during the Cold War, VII Corps was stationed in West Germany, serving as a primary force for NATO’s defense against potential Soviet aggression. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the corps led a decisive armored attack against Iraqi forces, contributing greatly to the swift Allied victory. VII Corps was inactivated in 1992 following the end of the Cold War.
