Cavalry Corps (France)
The Cavalry Corps ((フランス語:Corps de Cavalerie)) was a French mechanized army corps established in 1939 and inactivated in 1940 after the defeat of France by Germany. Commanded by General René Prioux, the Cavalry Corps advanced into Belgium in May 1940 and imposed significant delay on the advance of the German XVI (motorized) Corps. Cut off by German forces from the bulk of the French Army, the corps was evacuated to England and then shipped back to France in late May and early June 1940. Further combat resulted in significant losses of armored vehicles and a steady deterioration of the corps' combat power. The Cavalry Corps ceased fighting as the Second Armistice at Compiègne took effect, and the corps was demobilized on July 11, 1940.
==Formation and Phony War==
Formed on August 27, 1939 in Saint Quentin, the Cavalry Corps did not see action until May 11, 1940 in the vicinity of Tongres.〔GUF, p. 521.〕 The corps had various units assigned during the period of the Phony War, but by the time of the German invasion in May 1940, the corps commanded the 2nd and 3rd Light Mechanized Divisions ((フランス語:Division Légère Mécanique)) (DLM), as well as some small reconnaissance and artillery units.
