The Iraq War - Operation Iraqi Freedom
The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict from 2003 to 2011 that began with the invasion of Iraq by the United States–led coalition which overthrew the Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein. The conflict continued for much of the next decade as an insurgency emerged to oppose the coalition forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government. An estimated 151,000 to 1,033,000 Iraqis died in the first three to five years of conflict. US troops were officially withdrawn in 2011. The United States became re-involved in 2014 at the head of a new coalition; the insurgency and many dimensions of the armed conflict continue. The invasion occurred as part of the George W. Bush administration's War on Terror following the September 11 attacks.
Third Army / ARCENT played a critical role in commanding and coordinating Army operations throughout the Iraq War. As the senior Army headquarters in the region, Third Army commanded Multi-National Corps - Iraq and oversaw the deployment, employment, and sustainment of Army forces throughout Iraq.
Third Army in Iraq - Command and Combat Operations
Third Army Iraq War veterans served during the invasion, the counterinsurgency campaign, the surge, and the transition to Iraqi control. Soldiers under Third Army command fought in major battles including Fallujah, Ramadi, Baghdad, Sadr City, and countless other engagements across Iraq. They conducted combat patrols, cleared insurgent strongholds, trained Iraqi Security Forces, and worked to establish security and stability.
Third Army / ARCENT coordinated complex operations involving multiple divisions, brigades, and coalition partners. The command managed the massive logistical effort required to sustain combat operations, coordinated with Iraqi government and security forces, and adapted tactics to defeat a determined and adaptive enemy that used IEDs, suicide bombers, and complex attacks.
