Шаблон:Distinguish The 2nd Corps is a corps of the Syrian Army that was first formed in 1985. Richard Bennett wrote in 2001 that "three corps [were] formed in 1985 to give the Army more flexibility and to improve combat efficiency by decentralising the command structure, absorbing at least some of the lessons learned during the 1982 Lebanon War."[1] He said that the 2nd Corps with HQ in Zabadani, covered north of Damascus, whole Homs and included Lebanon.
