The 205 Al-Badr Corps is one of the eight corps of the Islamic Emirate Army established in October 2021 and headquartered in Kandahar. The current Chief of Staff is Mullah Bari Gul Akhund, with General Mehrullah Hamad as the first and current commander of the Corps. The Corps consists of four brigades, a commando battalion and three garrison and one frontier brigade, with integrated artillery and air lift capacity. In mid November 2021, 300 soldiers after completing military training graduated from the 2nd Brigade of the Al-Badr Corps in Zabul province.[1]

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan-era corps it replaced was known as the 205th 'Atul' Corps, responsible for the south of the country (Kandahar, Zabul, Oruzgan, and Daikundi provinces), and was a part of Afghan National Army.[2] It was captured during the Islamic Emirate offensive and Battle of Kandahar in August 2021.
