Under the command of Général d'Armée André-Gaston Prételat, the army group covered the sector from the Moselle to the Upper Rhine, protecting the regions of Lorraine and Alsace. It was positioned between the 1st Army Group to its left and the 3rd Army Group to its right. At the start of the German invasion on 10 May 1940, the group commanded approximately 35 divisions and was headquartered in Bondy.
