The Higher Military Command of Thrace (Greek: Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση Θράκης, abbr. ΑΣΔΙΘ) is an army corps of the Hellenic Army. Established before the First World War, it served in all conflicts Greece participated in until the German invasion of Greece in 1941. Re-established in 1976, it has been guarding the Greco-Turkish land border along the Evros River, and is the most powerful formation in the Hellenic Army. The IV Army Corps was changed to the Higher Military Command of Thrace due to the phase B of the Agenda 2030 Plan.
