On 22 June 1941, the corps consisted of the 64th Rifle Division and the 108th Rifle Division (General Major Alexander Mavrichev on 22 June 1941[1]). Sources are unclear whether the corps was assigned to the 13th Army that day or directly responsible to the Western Special Military District.[2] Two days later the WSMD became the Western Front.
