Third U.S. Army consisted of three corps (III, XII and XX Corps) for the Border Operations Phase and four corps (III, V, XII and XX Corps) for the Liberation Phase. Only V and XII Corps served in Czechoslovakia. III and XX Corps operated in southern Germany and Austria. On 5 May, Third U.S. Army had 18 divisions and over 540,000 men, making it the largest field army ever fielded by the United States.
