33 CORPS
The 33 Corps of the Indian Army draws sort of its heritage from the British Indian 33 Corps which was formed in 1942, but disbanded in 1945. It was not until 1962 that the Corps was reestablished, in order to reduce IV Corps's area of responsibilities. This Corps covered Sikkim. The Corps is based in Sukna, North Bengal near the city of Siliguri. Its area of responsibility includes North Bengal, Sikkim and if needed, Bhutan. It comprises three mountain divisions, 17th (Gangtok), 20th (Binaguri) and 27th (Kalimpong). The coat of arms consists of a white horizontal band between two red bands with two crossed spears with wings in the foreground. This is also called as ‘Trishakti Corps’. The sleeve patch of this Corps is red horizontal striped patch intersected with a white stripe in the background and a crossing spear and trident (Trishul) in the foreground.
