The 5th Army Corps was a military unit of the French Army which fought in the Franco-Prussian War and both World Wars. It comprised three divisions.[1]
On 10 May 1940 the 12th Infantry Division was attached to the army corps, which formed part of 1st Army. Most of the division was sent to the Saint-Quentin area on that date, although 3e GRDI were stationed to the south of Maubeuge in accordance with the Dyle Plan, Plan Yellow and the order to occupy the Gembloux sector near Namur.
The last commander was René Altmayer (June 1940).
