Your listing for the 40th Infantry Division (M) indicates that it is a "likely" subordinate unit to I Corps. You are correct. HOWEVER, you indicate the 40th is the North Carolina Guard. WRONG! Try the California Army National Guard.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.81.26.105 (talk • contribs) 11:32, 7 February 2004.

I may be mistaking, but I think that the I corps is currently in Northen Iraq, relieving the 101st Air Assaut division.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.161.27.52 (talk • contribs) 09:31, 23 July 2004.

Isn't this the unit in M*A*S*H? Guess they made up the part about it being in Korea...Kuralyov 20:31, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

No, "eye core" was there, our unit history is just incomplete. See U.S. Eighth Army Korean War order of battle for instance. Stan 21:16, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ACW connection

Someone just edited in:

The current I Corps is a different organization than the I Corps of the Union Army during the American Civil War.

If that is in fact true, we should delete the ACW portion of this article and just have a See Also. Can anyone confirm? Hal Jespersen 18:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Prior to World War I, Corps were not the same sort of structure they were from World War I on. Before that time, they were NOT permanent units, but were organized for each conflict, and were numbered Ordinally for each Army. It was only from World War I that Corps were Constituted and Organized with a permanent structure, Lineage and honors. The one thing that is consistent between the earlier and latter Corps - the insignia used for the single digit corps. MOST of them took their insignia from their pre-WW=I versions.

[edit] 1st Infantry Division

In this article, it says that the Big Red One is part of the I Corps, but in the Big Red One article and the V Corps article, it says that it is part of the V Corps. Which is it?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.241.236.185 (talk • contribs) 11:21, 3 April 2006.

Units are never permanently assigned to a Corps. During World War II, most units in multi-Corps theaters were assigned to multiple corps over the duration of the war.
