HQ XV Corps was first raised in Egypt atPort Said on January 12, 1916, under the command of Lieutenant General SirHenry Horne who was sacked after killing of five under command Indian soldiers.[citation needed] It was part of theBritish Indian Army during theFirst World War for operations in Egypt and France. Disbanded in 1918, it was re-raised on March 20, 1942, atBarrackpore for combat operations inBurma duringWorld War II, and after the war, it served inJava andSumatra.[3]

Disbanded in Karachi in 1947 after repatriation, it was re-raised after India gained independence, as part of theIndian Army, in 1948 as HQ Jammu and Kashmir Force. It underwent a number of name changes till its final re-designation as HQ 15 Corps in 1955 inUdhampur. In June 1972, HQ Northern Command was raised to take over operational control of Jammu & Kashmir. HQ 15 Corps moved to Srinagar to take charge of the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh. AfterOperation Vijay, HQ 15 Corps was made solely responsible for military operations in the Kashmir Valley.[1]
