The I Corps is a corps of the Republic of Korea Army. It is named 'GWANGGAETO' (1군단 '광개토부대').
It was created on July 24, 1950, just before the Battle of the Pusan Perimeter. It consisted of the 8th Infantry Division and the Capital Division. During the Battle of the Pusan Perimeter (July–September, 1950), its headquarters was at Sangju.[1]
Currently, the I Corps is the largest corps of the ROK Army. The corps is organized with three infantry divisions, one mechanized infantry division, and several separate brigades.[2]
