	Corps
		The structure of a corps is not permanent; many of the units that is commands are allocated to it as needed on an adhoc basis.
		In the British Army, a corps tends to be a grouping by common function (eg, the Infantry corps, the Royal Logistics Corps[?], Royal Corps of Signals[?]).
		There is a corps headquarters for operational control of forces, and it was last deployed as the headquarters commanding land forces during the Kosovo War in 1999.

	I Corps History
		On 9 January 1945, I U.S. Corps successfully landed on the coast of the Lingayen Gulf in Northern Luzon, P.I., with the mission of establishing a base for future operations to the north and of denying the enemy northern access to the China Sea.
		The Corps had only a short period of inactivity, for with the entry of American troops into Korea it was again to be the "first"; I U.S. Corps was reactivated at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on 2 August 1950 and advance elements of the headquarters took their place in the Pusan perimeter on 27 August.
		Four days later the Corps participated in the attack that was to mark the changing tide of American fortunes; from the Pusan perimeter Corps troops pushed northward against crumbling enemy opposition to establish contact with forces of the 7th Infantry Division driving southward from the beachhead established by the amphibious landings at Inchon.

	British Brigade, Emmerich's "Partisan In War"
		A corps composed of those three sorts of light troops, ought not to be less than a thousand, nor exceed seventeen hundred men in number, who should all be volunteers, it being unsafe to compel men into such a service.
		When the army retreats, the corps of light troops must form the rear guard, in order to cover its retreat; and when it halts, the partisan must keep his station behind, detach his picket guards, centinels and patrols, and carefully prevent desertion to the enemy, which is often attempted in the retreat of an army.
		In the year 1760, a corps of French troops, consisting of between five and six thousand men, under the command of General Clauwitz, among which there was a regiment of hussars, (called the regiment of Pirchiney) was stationed at Emsdorff, in the Hessian dominions, near Ciginhain.

		I used to wonder whether the British were oblivious to how this looked to the East Germans, or whether they just liked to rub it in as to who won the war.
		I started to refuse it, but the British Army officer seated opposite me, and with whom I had been chatting, told me not to worry, to consider it "a treat." I made a mental note that I owe the Queen a lunch the next time I see her.
		The British were capable of running their train with fewer people than required for the similar U.S. Army trains.

		The British would have preferred to attack the Germans from the North, via Belgium, which would have helped the British protect their supply lines by disrupting German U-Boat operations in the North Sea.
		The British were junior partners in this front and the integrity of the French lines was deemed supremely important, and so, plans were drawn up for the huge offensive from the west.
		Compared to the battle-hardened French, the British were inexperienced, and many officers had been fast tracked to replace those shot (at this time officers were dressed differently to infantrymen and could be easily picked off by enemy riflemen).
