====OIF V====
The division redeployed to Fort Stewart and Fort Benning in January 2006. On 17 November 2006, the Army announced that the Third Infantry Division is scheduled to return to Iraq in 2007 and thus become the first Army division to serve three tours in Iraq. The division headquarters became the leading organization of MND-C (Multi-National Division Central), a new command established south of Baghdad as part of the [[Iraq War troop surge of 2007]].{{citation needed|date=December 2011}}

In support of operations in Baghdad, the unit 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry was detached from 3ID and assigned by General Petraeus to 3rd BCT, 82nd Airborne who was under the command of the 1st Cavalry Division. In 2008, the 82nd Airborne and 1st CAV redeployed home, and 3–7 CAV was handed over to 3rd BCT, 4th Infantry Division under the command of the 25th Infantry Division. They would remain under this command until 3–7 CAV's redeployment back to Fort Stewart, being reattached to the 3rd Infantry Division.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} Similarly, 1st Battalion, [[64th Armor Regiment|64th Armor]] was detached from 3ID and attached to 2nd BCT, 1st Infantry Division under 1st Cavalry Division, and later under 2nd BCT, 101st Airborne Division under command of 4th Infantry Division.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Rayburn|first1=Joel D.|last2=Sobchak|first2=Frank K.|date=January 2019|title=The U.S. Army in the Iraq War: Volume 2 Surge and Withdrawal 2007-2011|url=https://publications.armywarcollege.edu/pubs/3668.pdf|url-status=dead|access-date=22 March 2021|publisher=U.S. Army War College Press|page=206|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191026152707/https://publications.armywarcollege.edu/pubs/3668.pdf |archive-date=26 October 2019 }}</ref>
