XXIV 24th Corps

The XXIV (24th) Corps was a corps-level command of the United States Army, first activated during the American Civil War in December 1864. It played a key role in the final campaigns against the Confederacy, participating notably in the Siege of Petersburg and the subsequent occupation of Richmond, Virginia. After the Civil War, the corps was disbanded in 1866. The XXIV Corps designation was later revived during the Vietnam War, where it commanded U.S. Army ground forces in the northernmost region of South Vietnam from 1968 to 1972, playing a crucial role in major operations such as the defense of the Demilitarized Zone and the Easter Offensive of 1972.
