US Army V Corps To Leave Europe For Afghanistan

WIESBADEN, GERMANY - MAY 10: A soldier stands next to a salute cannon before a color casing ceremony of the U.S. Army V Corps to mark the departure of the corps headquarters from Europe on May 10, 2012 at the U.S. Army base in Wiesbaden, Germany. The U.S. Army V Corps, whose headquarters has been based in Germany nearly continuously since 1951, will leave Europe for good, with much of its command and operations structure scheduled to move to Afghanistan. The move is part of a broader restructuring of the U.S. military's overseas capabilities that also includes the likely redeployment of two U.S. infantry brigades out of Germany.
