=== Reactivation ===
On 11 February 2020, the [[United States Department of the Army]] announced the activation of corps headquarters (V&nbsp;Corps). V&nbsp;Corps Headquarters will have approximately 635 soldiers, with approximately 200 who will support an operational command post in Europe. The Corps Headquarters is projected to be operational by autumn 2020.

On 12 February 2020, the Army announced that V&nbsp;Corps' new headquarters would be located at [[Fort Knox]], [[Kentucky]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thenewsenterprise.com/news/local/fort-knox-lands-new-u-s-army-corps/article_be4f453f-ed68-5ecf-a2ed-88c3d4a3c7c0.html|publisher='The News-Enterprise'|first=Ben|last=Sheroan|date=12 February 2020|title=Fort Knox lands new U.S. Army corps}}</ref>

[[Chief of Staff of the United States Army|United States Army Chief of Staff]], General [[James C. McConville|James McConville]] stated:

<blockquote>The activation of an additional Corps headquarters provides the needed level of command and control focused on synchronizing U.S. Army, allied, and partner nation tactical formations operating in Europe. It will enhance U.S. Army Europe and U.S. European Command as they work alongside allies and partners to promote regional stability and security.</blockquote>

The establishment of V&nbsp;Corps supports [[United States European Command]]'s request for increased command and control capability.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.army.mil/article/232649/army_announces_activation_of_additional_corps_headquarters|title=Army announces activation of additional corps headquarters |publisher=United States Army}}</ref>
