Formation and war service In 1985, the
Army GHQ formed three field corps to improve the internal security in
Balochistan and
Punjab. Originally, the XXX Corps was headquartered in
Sialkot Cantonment, and took over the area of responsibility for the strategic areas of
Indian Administered Jammu and Kashmir (extending from
Jhelum to
Narowal) that was previously overseen by the
I Corps. Thus, the XXX Corps was given the command of the formations that were detached from I Corps, which was then dedicated to offensive tasks. The XXX Corps is known for its ability to conduct
mechanized and the
riverine operations. ==Structure==
