renaming proposal edit

I'd like to propose renaming the article to [[Rifle Corps (Soviet Union)[[ which is grammatically correct (Armee de Corps and not corps/corporeal) and consistent with use per disambiguation for units already in use--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 00:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

A Corps is both a type of a formation, and a kind of an organisation of forces. In this case the article refers to a kind of an organisation of forces, a the list of the units has been tacked onto it due to lack of an article of List of Rifle Corps (Soviet Union). This article should deal with the organisation and employment of the Rifle Corps in general. Hence why I added the extra category which was removed--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 03:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
