VII Maneuver Corps

The VII Maneuver Corps (7기동군단, hanja: 七機動軍團), also known as The vanguard corps of the northern advance (북진선봉부대, hanja: 北進先鋒部隊), is a corps of the Republic of Korea Army subordinate to the Ground Operations Command. As the only maneuver force in the Republic of Korea Army that is only in charge of offensive missions, it will advance to North Korea in case of emergency.

In addition, the USFK's 2nd Infantry Division is also assigned to the 7th Corps of the Korean Army in the wartime command system of ROK-US Combined Forces Command to fight together.

History
It traces its history to 1969 and the establishment of the East Coast Guard Command.

Overview
The Army's 7th Maneuver Corps is the first and only maneuver corps of the ROK Army. All corps components are mechanized.

The 7th Corps is said to have changed some of its missions in the current US/ROK Operations Plan 5027, but originally, when the enemy penetrates the 'Highway 1' axis and the 'Cheorwon-Munsan' axis on the western front, after reorganizing the battle lines, It is a unit tasked with striking the enemy's depths with maneuver tactics. For this reason, most army corps have a 'special unit', but the 7th Corps has a 'assault battalion' that takes on the role of establishing a bridgehead after boarding a helicopter and striking the enemy deeply.

In addition, the USFK's 2nd Infantry Division is also assigned to the 7th Corps of the Korean Army in the wartime command system of ROK-US Combined Forces Command to fight together.
