III Corps - Phantom Corps Heritage
III Corps is a corps of the United States Army headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas. It is a major formation of the United States Army Forces Command.

The corps was deactivated following the end of the war.
III Corps was reactivated and has served with distinction in multiple conflicts. Known as the "Phantom Corps," III Corps is one of the Army's most combat-experienced headquarters, having commanded operations in World War I, World War II, and the Iraq War. Based at Fort Hood, Texas, III Corps commands some of the Army's most powerful combat divisions.
III Corps in Iraq - Command and Combat Operations
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, III Corps deployed to Iraq and served as the senior Army headquarters commanding Multi-National Corps - Iraq (MNC-I). III Corps commanded and coordinated combat operations throughout Iraq, overseeing multiple divisions and brigades as they conducted counterinsurgency operations, trained Iraqi Security Forces, and fought against Al-Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgent groups.
III Corps soldiers and the units under its command fought in major battles including Fallujah, Ramadi, Baghdad, and countless other engagements across Iraq. The corps headquarters coordinated complex operations involving tens of thousands of soldiers, managed relationships with Iraqi government and security forces, and adapted tactics to defeat a determined and adaptive enemy.
Soldiers who served under III Corps in Iraq came from divisions and brigades across the Army—1st Cavalry Division, 4th Infantry Division, 1st Armored Division, and many others. They conducted combat patrols, cleared insurgent strongholds, trained Iraqi forces, and worked to establish security and stability throughout Iraq. Many deployed multiple times under III Corps command, demonstrating extraordinary dedication and sacrifice.
