Page "V Corps (United States)" Paragraph 4

After the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, V Corps soldiers deployed both units and individuals to Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War ; and to other operations in Kuwait, northern Iraq, Croatia, Somalia, Republic of Macedonia, Rwanda, and Zaire.

In December 1994, as part of the realignment of United States Armed Forces, V Corps moved from the IG Farben Building to Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg, severing a forty-three year tie with Frankfurt.

The corps reached out to the armed forces of eastern Europe with numerous initiatives to foster closer ties and better understanding.

Maintaining the NATO commitment, V Corps in 1994 created two bi-national corps with Germany.

For Command Component Land Heidelberg missions, the corps commanded the 13th Panzergrenadier Division ( Bundeswehr ), while II Corps ( Bundeswehr ) commanded the 1st Armored Division ( United States ).

In December 1995, V Corps deployed 1st Armored Division ( United States ) and elements of six separate brigades for the Implementation Force ( IFOR ).

The corps headquarters and Headquarters Company, the 3rd Sustainment Command ( Expeditionary ), and the separate brigades helped form the National Support Element headquartered in Hungary for United States Armed Forces in Bosnia.

Brigades of the two divisions rotated in the peace enforcement mission for a number of years in Bosnia.

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, V Corps, was decorated with the Superior Unit Award in 1998 in recognition of the unit's performance in Implementation Force ( IFOR ).

In April 1999, V Corps deployed the headquarters and subordinate units to Albania as Task Force Hawk, a force involved in the on-going crisis in Kosovo.

The 1st Infantry Division ( United States ) served in Kosovo twice and the 1st Armored Division ( United States ) served once, in addition to V Corps separate brigades.
