XXII Corps (U.S. Army) Pint Glass 16oz

The XXII Corps is a corps-level formation within the United States Army. It was first activated during World War II for the D-Day invasion, serving under the First U.S. Army until the end of the war in Europe. Although it was deactivated after the war, it was reactivated during the Cold War and served in various capacities until 1974. The corps has not been reactivated since then. The XXII Corps is a combined-arms formation, capable of conducting both offensive and defensive operations. It typically consists of several divisions, field artillery brigades, aviation regiments, engineer battalions, and support units. The role of the corps is to provide tactical command and control of these forces during large-scale combat operations. The XXII Corps has not seen active service since its deactivation in 1974, but it remains a significant part of U.S. Army history due to its service during World War II and the Cold War era. The corps symbol is a shield divided into four quarters, representing the four divisions that were once part of the corps. The motto of the XXII Corps is "Semper Paratus," which means "Always Ready."
