VIIth corps changed in less than a 100 days in force structure.
From the day the Go code was given the corps was enlarged and restructured with new units and new HQs.
It became part of the new coalition in the deserts of Saudia Arabia, under command of generals Norman Schwarzkopf and John Yeosock (3rd army)
