The 4th Army Corps (Azerbaijani: 4-ci Ordu Korpusu), also referred to as the Baku Army Corps is a regional military formation of the Azerbaijani Land Forces, that covers Absheron Peninsula and the coast, currently deployed from the capital of Baku.[4]

Overview

The corps consists of three motorized rifle brigades: one at Zeynalabdin, one at Jusar, and another at an undisclosed location. Unlike the other corps, its role was mainly to serve as a strategic reserve. As a result, it is the smallest corps in the Land Forces Like the 3rd Corps, it will be used for replenishing the ranks of the 1st Corps.[5] At the beginning of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijan lined up six additional motorized infantry brigades along the front line, with reservists being mobilized and transferred from the 4th Corps.[6][7] At the Baku Victory Parade of 2020 on Azadliq Square, the corps was represented by a parade contingent led by Colonel Ilham Mammadov.[8]

Facilities

A facilities in the village of Pirəkəşkül in the Absheron Rayon is the site of a missile base operated by the corps, opened in June 2018 by President Ilham Aliyev.[9] The base houses Polonez-M and LORA missile systems.[9] In January 2017, a new 42 hectare military camp is located at the corps. Construction work began here in May 2014 and was completed at the end of 2016. A total of 13 military dormitories were built. A 76-bed, two-story medical center also operates at the corps.[10]
