VII Corps is mainly composed of elements of the Westfälisch Armee and some small elements of the Hannoverian Army. The primary task of the Corps is the defence of the Rhur and Frankfurt metroplexes. Consequently the corps is primarily trained in urban operations with the French as a likely enemy. However lingering Westphalian resentment of the 'occupation' of the west bank of the Rhine by the Netherlands also persists in some of the thinking of the senior officers in the Corps.

61 Luftkissenpanzergrenadier Division

Originally the 1st 'Hessen' PzGren Division, 61.LkPzGren division fought as a tracked division during the War being involved countering the main thrust of the French towards Stuttgart. Like most of the Westphalian units it was heavily engaged and ended the conflict in the fighting in the ruins of Stuttgart's western suburbs. Since the war it has been converted to a GEV formation and is the high readiness division for VII Corps, although it exercises frequently with I Corps. 61.LkPzGren expects to be one of the first units engaged should fighting with France erupt again.

63 Reserve Panzergrenadier Division

Once known as the 3rd 'Main' Division, 63.Res.PzGren.Div is now the mobile state army garrison for Frankfurt. It is equipped with Löwe main battle tanks and wheeled APCs. It specialises in urban warfare and is closely affiliated with local Jäger units. The division saw fierce fighting in the War nearly being destroyed several times but surviving due to a constant influx of reservists and new tanks from the Rhine-Ruhr factories.
