Unit History & Information
XVIII Airborne Corps began as II Armored Corps at Camp Polk, Louisiana, in January 1942. It was redesignated XVIII Corps in October 1943 and received its airborne designation in England on August 25, 1944. That date became the corps’ birthday. Its later Fort Bragg identity centered on rapidly deployable forces and the ability to command large joint and combined operations, including forcible entry. The Sky Dragons name connects the familiar corps insignia with that long airborne command tradition.
