Headquarters and Headquarters Company, V Corps (HHC V Corps), traces its origins to World War I when V Corps was first activated in July 1918. The unit played a pivotal role in World War II, participating in major campaigns such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. During the Cold War, HHC V Corps served as a key command element for U.S. Army forces stationed in Germany, maintaining readiness to deter Soviet aggression. In the 21st century, HHC V Corps has deployed in support of operations in the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and was reactivated in 2020 to strengthen U.S. military presence and command capabilities in Europe.
