The VIII Corps is a corps of the United States Army that serves under the command of the United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) during peacetime and the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPAC) in wartime. It was activated during World War II on October 28, 1944, and has since been involved in significant military operations such as the Battle of Okinawa and the Korean War. Today, it is based at Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii, with subordinate units spread across multiple locations in the Pacific region. The corps’ mission includes conducting joint and combined training, providing forces for contingency operations, and ensuring regional security alongside allies and partners.
