 | | Third Army is capable of performing as the Joint Forces Land Component Command, or Command of a Coalition / Joint Task Force coordinating the combined efforts of all land forces within a theater of operations. |
 | | The mission of the Third Army was to serve as the administrative headquarters for an area that covered the seven southeastern states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. |
 | | The experience gained at Third Army Headquarters during the periods of demobilization, expansion, and economy in a short period of three years, prepared the Third Army Commander and his staff for the arduous task of mobilizing and training sufficient troops to cope with the national emergency that arose as a result of the Korean crisis. |
