About

The II Corps (Vietnamese: Quân đoàn II) was a corps of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), the army of the nation state of South Vietnam that existed from 1955 to 1975. It was one of four corps in the ARVN, and it oversaw the region of the central highlands region, north of the capital Saigon. Its corps headquarters was in the mountain town of Pleiku.

U.S. advisor (probably a MACV officer) confers with II Corps’ 3rd Cav commander in front of an M113 APC.
II Corps became operational in April 1958.

One notable ARVN unit of II Corps, the 3d Armored Cavalry Squadron, earned the Presidential Unit Citation (United States).

The 21st Tank Regiment was formed at Pleiku in 1972.
