==History==
With troops stationed in both the [[Chaos March]] and sections of the [[Federated Suns]] which saw the most action in the [[FedCom Civil War]], the Third Army was stretched to breaking point and beyond by the Civil War and associated events. Acting on [[Gavin Dow]]'s orders, many Divisions of the Third fell to pro-[[Victor Steiner-Davion|Victor]] troops; not surprisingly, Victor Davion's reinstatement as Precentor Martial proved unpopular with many in the Army. Additionally the refusal of both Davion and Dow to assign more troops to the Third Army in light of [[Word of Blake]] aggression in the Chaos March resulted in general decline in the Army's loyalty.

After the beginning of the [[Jihad]] the Com Guard Armies were stretched too thin. To counteract this, the 7th-12th Armies were disbanded and used to reinforce the 1st-6th Armies. This gave each of the newly-reinforced Armies a full six Divisions. The 3rd Army was one of the formations affected, receiving new reinforcements.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 210</ref>

Along with the [[2nd Army (ComStar)|Second Army]], the Third was attached to a top secret mission led by [[Devlin Stone]], disappearing from public view in mid-[[3078]],<ref name=JHST-77>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 77 - "Stone is Coming!"</ref> reappearing only after the liberation of Terra was concluded in [[3079]]. <ref name=JHST-131-132>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 131-132 - "Where are the Shadows?"</ref> It was later learned the 2nd and 3rd Armies had undertaken a successful if very costly assault against the Blakist held [[Luyten 68-28]] system, the remains of both shattered armies being used to bolster the [[6th Army (ComStar)|6th Army]] in preparation for [[Operation SCOUR]] and were effectively disbanded.<ref name=JFR-106>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 106 "What Lies Beneath - The Republic of the Sphere - The Com Guards"</ref>

As of [[3050]], the Third Army was under the command of [[Precentor]] Marty Jby.

As of [[3067]], the Third was under the command of Precentor Alexander Durbin, promoted to the post after Tukayyid. While an excellent field command, Durbin is a poor bureaucrat and relies heavily upon his XO to manage the Army's day to day operations.
