	The U.S. Army's Earth-based operational force before the theater service component-level consists of 5 active corps (I Corps, III Corps, V Corps, VII Airmobile Corps, XIV Corps) controlling 15 active duty divisions, 9 Army National Guard divisions, and many separate combat commands, brigades, and regiments. During peacetime, forces forward deployed or rotated to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia come under the command of the Sixth Army as the theater-level service component command. Corps stationed in the United States remain under the administration of the Eighth Army. During wartime, corps designated as "[[Reforc\|Reforc Corps A and B]]" (I Corps and III Corps) and the forward deployed corps in China (IX Corps) would come under the Sixth Army while any other follow-on forces would come under the Eighth Army and any other mobilized commands depending on the scale of conflict. Alternatively, if a large-scale conflict occurs outside of the Pacific area, Eighth Army can deploy as the Army's service component command to that theater.
