Soldiers of the Georgia Army National Guard’s 3rd Infantry Division Main Command Post Operational Detachment mobilized to Europe in October and November 2025.
 
The MCPOD’s mission is to provide additional personnel and support to the headquarters of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division. While the 3ID MCPOD is administratively assigned to the Georgia National Guard’s 648th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, the 3rd Infantry Division maintains operational control over the unit during deployments and shapes unit staffing and training to meet evolving mission requirements.
 
The MCPOD was organized from previous Georgia National Guard units February 16, 2016, and carries the lineage of the 265th Engineer Group which deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm and received the Navy Presidential Unit Citation for actions in Iraq in 2003. Soldiers of the MCPOD mobilized to Afghanistan from June 2017 to May 2018 where they supported Train Advise Assist Command – East missions in Kapisa, Kunar, Laghman, Nangarhar, Nuristan, Panjshayr and Parwan provinces. Elements of the MCPOD mentored Afghan Army, police, and border patrol traveling extensively about the area of operations.
 
The MCPOD again deployed Soldiers to Afghanistan from 2019-2020 as part of Task Force Marne. The MCPOD operated out of Mazar e Sharif and the TAAC South Headquarters in Kandahar.
 
From July 2023 to May 2024, Soldiers of the MCPOD deployed to Poland in support of United States European Command operations.
 
When not deployed overseas or training for its federal mission, the MCPOD assists the Georgia National Guard during domestic emergency response operations, most recently during Hurricane Helene in October 2024.
