Cold War
Source: Cordesman, p. 204
In 1989, 2nd Army Corps was headquartered in Baden Baden, Germany, and controlled the 3rd and 5th Armored Divisions, as well as the 15th Infantry Division. The corps was probably disestablished in the early 1990s. With the end of the Cold War, the French Army underwent significant reorganization and no longer has any numbered corps headquarters.
