Lt. Gen. Paul Funk II, III Corps and Fort Hood commander, took time during his mid-deployment leave to address members of the the Association of the U.S. Army’s Central Texas-Fort Hood Chapter during the chapter’s general membership luncheon on Fort Hood.
Funk, who is currently the commander of Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve – a 71-nation coalition to defeat the Islamic State (IS) – deployed with approximately 350 soldiers with the corps’ headquarters in August 2017 for a year-long deployment in the Middle East.
“We’re in a lot better shape [against IS] now. The physical caliphate in both Iraq and Syria has been defeated,†he said.
