Its headquarters was initially located at Grozny, then relocated to Vladikavkaz in January 1923 and thence to Novocherkassk in August 1925. The corps included the 13th Rifle Division for the disarmament of population of Dagestan in August 1925 and the 9th Rifle Division for the suppression of Karachay rebels between April and May 1930. In May 1932 the corps headquarters was relocated to Krasnodar, where it remained until 1941. [1]
