III Corps Mission
When directed, deploy to a theater of operation, conduct military operations, and redeploy. III Corps trains, mobilizes, deploys, and sustains ready forces; on order, conducts decisive full-spectrum joint or combined operations.
Training for counteroffensive combat operations are III Corps' main effort. The force is designed to meet current needs in a dangerous and unstable world. It's offensive in nature and a departure from old Cold War strategy, which was defensive in nature.
Everything III Corps does is designed to support our preparations to fight and win. It's imperative that III Corps' war-winning readiness and deploy ability remain high.
