201 Khalid Ibn Walid Corps
The 201 Khalid Ibn al-Walid Corps is one of the eight corps of the Islamic Emirate Army established in October 2021 and headquartered in Laghman. The current Chief of Staff is Abdul Rahman Mansoori.
The conventional corps of the Islamic Emirate Army were renamed in November 2021 by Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid, Acting Minister of Defense. The 201 Corps was renamed 'Khalid Ibn Walid' and at the time was under the command of Abu Dujana Abdul-Sabur (Commander); Abdul Rahman Mansoori (Chief of Staff); and Ibrahim (Deputy Commander).
The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan-era corps it replaced was known as the 201st 'Selab' Corps and was a part of Afghan National Army.
The 201st 'Selab' Corps was a corps-sized formation of the now-defunct Islamic Republic's Afghan National Army. The corps additionally had the same designation as the 201st Commando Battalion in the Afghan Commando Forces under the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.
The establishment of the corps started when the first commander and some of his staff were appointed on 1 September 2004. The first two ANA brigades for what was at the time called the Central Corps were activated on 22 March 2003. Under the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan the corps had the name 'Selab' (Flood). The corps was responsible for the east of the country (Kabul, Logar, Kapisa, Nuristan, Kunar, and Laghman provinces). Brigadier Abdul Jabbar was the last commander of the Corps. He was appointed as the commander of Corps on 8 January 2021.
The corps' 1st Brigade was stationed at the Presidential Palace. Its 3rd Brigade at Pol-e-Charkhi was a mechanised formation including M113s and Soviet-built main battle tanks. In mid-2003, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment sent a training team to the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, of the Central Corps to assist the creation of a battalion equipped with T-62s and BMP-1s and BMP-2s to help provide security during the Loya Jirga of 2003 and the 2004 Afghan presidential elections.
Later information from LongWarJournal.com placed most of the 3rd Brigade at Jalalabad, 2nd Brigade at Pol-e-Charkhi, and only a single battalion of 1st Brigade at the Presidential Palace. Its area of responsibility included Kabul as well as vital routes running north and south, and valleys leading from the Pakistani border into Afghanistan. As of 2009, the 3rd Brigade of the 201st Corps was the only unit that had control of an area of responsibility in Afghanistan without the aid or assistance of U.S. or coalition forces. August 6–7, 2009 in the Shpee Valley, Kapisa, during a joint Afghan-Franco-American Operation (Brest Thunder), Afghan soldiers from 3rd Kandak, 3rd Brigade, 201st Corps saved the life of Forward Observer Christopher Mercer Lowe (US Army) after he took a snipers bullet to his right thigh.
A new fourth brigade of the corps was planned to be established in the province of Nuristan. By 2013, the 4th Brigade, 201st Corps, had its headquarters near Jalalabad.
