Hi,

Does this solve your problem:

#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesection}{}
#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesubsection}{}
#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\arabic{subsubsection}}

Depending on your usage, you might have to disable counter reset between
sections/subsections.  You might be able to use the chngcntr package for
that.

You might be able to use the Org UNNUMBERED property, though I doubt it.
