The Sixth Corps was activated on August 1st, 1940,
with Headquarters at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and had one
change of station before embarking for the Mediterranean
Theater in February of 1943.

After fighting in six campaigns and participating in three assault
landings, the Corps was assigned occupation duties until May of 1946
when it was reorganized and redesignated as "Headquarters United States
Constabulary."

The patch worn by the VI Corps during WW II is based on a design
approved by the AEF on January 1st, 1919, and consists of a white
numeral "6" to indicate the unit's designation, placed on a blue disc.
