A corps (a word that immigrated from the French language, but originating in the Latin "corpus, corporis" meaning body; plural same as singular) is a large military unit or formation.
The present active corps in the US Army are I Corps ("eye core"), III Corps, V Corps, and XVIII Airborne Corps; their numbers derive from four of the 30-odd corps that were formed during World War II.
I Corps of the British Army of the Rhine was redesignated the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps in 1994.
