Unit History
The 10th Corps, also known as X Corps, was a corps of the United States Army that was first activated during World War II. Constituted on 1 July 1942 and activated on 15 July 1942 at Sherman, Texas, X Corps played a significant role in the Pacific Theater. The corps participated in major campaigns including the New Guinea, Leyte, and Luzon operations. After World War II, X Corps was inactivated on 31 March 1946 in Japan. The corps was later reactivated for service during the Korean War, where it was instrumental in the Inchon Landing and the subsequent advance into North Korea. X Corps continued to serve in Korea until it was inactivated again on 1 April 1968.
