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. The new command will be led by its first commander Gen. David Hodne.[1]
The command combines the former United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the United States Army Futures Command (AFC) unifying the functions of force design, force development and force generation.[2] The command will have three major subordinate units: the Futures and Concepts Center at Fort Eustis, Virginia; the Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky; and the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
“For the first time in modern history, the Army unified the functions of force design, force development and force generation,” Hodne said at the ceremony creating the new command and ending the two older commands. “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.”[1]
The consolidation was announced by the Army in May[3] to meet requirements from the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to reduce the number of general officers and reduce redundancies.[4] 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.[5]
