Three of the five divisions within XXXI Corps were designated as jump infantry divisions, leaving the one mechanized infantry division in the position of training to secure and ground gained by the three jump infantry divisions. The one [[BattleMech]] division in XXXI Corps, the [[438th BattleMech Division]], was actually raised and supported by the Lyran Commonwealth, in part as a response to the formation and support of the [[409th BattleMech Division]] by the [[Free Worlds League]]. This altered the composition of the 438th in comparison to other BattleMech divisions within the SLDF, with a high preponderance of Lyran machines - both the heavy and assault designs the Commonwealth was famous (or infamous) for, but also light designs such as the ''[[Commando]]''.<ref name="FM:SLDFp164">''Field Manual: SLDF'', pp. 164–165: "XXXI Corps"</ref> + In [[2764]] XXXI Corps was part of the [[13th Army (Star League)|13th Army]], assigned to District 3 of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Military Region]].

Quan's attitudes led to him making friends and enemies in roughly equal measure, and he remained a polarizing individual even as a corps commander. Quan had been removing those members of his command staff who disagreed with his management and leadership over time, but as late as 2764 some stubborn holdouts remained in post, making it difficult to get all of the elements of XXXI Corps onto the same page and hampering the response time of the Corps.<ref name="FM:SLDFp164"/> − − Occupying a region along the border between the Commonwealth and the Free Worlds League complicated the supply chain for XXXI Corps, and while the active competition between the Lyran and League suppliers kept XXXI Corps well-furnished with consumables, shipments from the SLDF were slowed down by customs inspections. XXXI Corps wasn't a high priority within the SLDF due to the lack of Royal units within the Corps and XXXI Corps simply not being an exemplar corps, forcing the Corps to rely on 'Mechs, armored vehicles and [[aerospace fighter]]s that were commonly available.<ref name="FM:SLDFp164"/> − − When the simmering violence and rebellion building in the [[Periphery]] erupted with the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] and subsequent Periphery-wide uprising in [[2765]] XXXI Corps was deployed into the [[Periphery Military Region]] along with the rest of the 13th Army.<ref name="SLp146"/> − − The conflict in the Periphery inflicted significant losses on XXXI Corps; one complete division, the 178th Jump Infantry, was destroyed along with the independent 687th Artillery Regiment.
