The United States Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) is a major command of the United States Army headquartered in Austin, Texas, since October 2, 2025. T2COM unifies the functions of force design, force development and force generation,[1] and is composed of approximately 350,000 personnel.[2]

The command combined the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).[1] T2COM has three major subordinate units: the Futures and Concepts Command at Fort Eustis, Virginia; the Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky; and the Combined Arms Command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.[3]

At the establishment ceremony, Hodne explained the Army unified "force design, force development, and force generation." He added, “technology alone never transformed war. The tank, the airplane, the drone, none changed battlefields by themselves. It required new tactics, new concepts, and new organizations to integrate them into coherent warfighting systems.”[2]

The consolidation was announced by the Army in May to meet requirements from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to reduce the number of general officers and reduce redundancies.[4][5] This new plan, the Army Transformation Initiative, is designed to transform and make a smaller force structure while focusing on "lethality" according to Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll. The initiative is also designed to downsize, consolidate, or close redundant headquarters, according to the secretary of defense.[6]

Insignia

[edit]

The new shoulder sleeve insignia was designed by the Army's Institute of Heraldry to show the merger of TRADOC and AFC. The patch is a black shield with a white downward "broken" chevron. Over the chevron is a gold sword. The colors are the official Army colors and the concept represents breaking old thinking to protect the force.[14]
