Rottman writes that in July 1951 it comprised the 4th and 5th Divisions, the 105th Armoured Division, and the 26th Brigade.[1] By the ceasefire of July 1953, it comprised the 4th, 5th, and 10th Divisions.[2]
In 2001, it was responsible for the southwestern part of North Korea.[3] The corps is reportedly headquartered at Haeju, South Hwanghae Province.
