 | | Recognising that the XV Corps, which was headquartered in Srinagar, would of necessity have to spend much of its time fighting a low-intensity war, a second corps, the XIV Corps, headquartered in Leh, was created to deal with the Kargil and Siachen sectors and to man the Line of Actual Control with China. |
 | | This was the first time that the organisational, medical, engineering, transport and educational expertise of an entire army corps was put at the disposal of the people, not to combat an emergency or natural disaster, but to promote their social and human development. |
 | | The answer that XIV Corps has found is to work as closely as possible with the political representatives of the area, the district ad-ministration, key private organisations (in the case of Kargil, religious ones) like the Anjuman-i-Islamiyya, and the Khomeini Trust, and the people of the affected area. |
