History
The IX Corps headquarters was first constituted on 29 July 1921 in the organized reserves, a new corps formation intended to compliment the existing corps commands in the active duty component of the force by providing command to reserve units. It was assigned a shoulder sleeve insignia shortly thereafter. Though the corps was not activated, it remained on the organizational rolls of the Army, to be called on when needed. On 1 October 1933, the corps was moved to the active duty roster, though it remained deactivated.
