III Corp Fort Hood

III Corps, headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas (now Fort Cavazos), was originally activated in 1918 during World War I as part of the National Army, but was demobilized shortly after the war. Reactivated for World War II, III Corps played a significant role in training and preparing units for deployment to both the European and Pacific Theaters. During the Cold War and into the present, III Corps has served as a major command within the U.S. Army, responsible for deploying forces to major conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Today, III Corps remains a key operational headquarters, providing command and control for Army units worldwide.
