Sure, during the "cold war," we had two Corp in Germany.
VII Corp in the South, and V Corp in the North.
VII Corp was sent to Saudia for GW I. They were the Armor heavy force
which swept North into Iraq, and then East to flank the
Iraq Republican Guard Divisions, (The so called "hail Mary" manuver.)
Our guys kicked butt big time.
(Shortly after that the Soviet Union basically threw in the towel.
Guess they didn't like seeing what we had built up and planned for them.)
VII Corp was disbanded, and never returned to their bases in Germany.
V Corp will be going to kick butt this time.
That's why the Germans have been told they will have to guard the military bases in Germany.
IMO V Corp won't return to Germany either.
