The 205th 'Atul' (Hero) Corps was a corps-level formation of the Afghan National Army.[5] Its headquarters were located in Kandahar and it was responsible for the south of the country (Kandahar, Zabul, Oruzgan, Helmand and Nimruz provinces), partnered with the ISAF's Regional Command South.[6]
The Corps consisted of four brigades, a commando battalion and three garrisons.[7] The Corps had integrated artillery and air lift capacity.[8]
