The End Of The Road

In September of 1945, General Patton turned over command of the Third
Army to an old friend of his, Lieutenant General Lucien K. Truscott.

After the Third Army's return to the continental United States, it
resumed it's pre-war role of training army.

Eventually, the Third Army was phased out of existence. In 1947, the
Third Army returned to the United States and occupied the military
installation which is today Fort McPherson, located in Georgia. In
1973 the Third Army was inactivated, the official date being 1
October, 1973.
