IV Corps
Part of the pre-war Greek Regular Army, Army Corps "D" was stationed in Eastern Macedonia and was responsible upon mobilisation for organising and equipping all troops in its region. Shortly before the Italian invasion, Army Corps D was assigned to the A.S. Kavalla as part of the defences of the Metaxas Line facing the Bulgarians.
By 08 February 1941 all the Divisions and Assets of Army Corps D had been transferred to the various Corps on the Albanian Front, and the order was given to disband the Headquarters.
