The United States Army Training and Doctrine Command ( TRADOC , German  Army Command for Training and Operational Training and Development ) is one of three Army commands and a Major Command of the United States Army . The association is responsible for the training and development of new combat management strategies and their implementation within military training and further education and their standardization. TRADOC is also responsible for the needs analysis, development, procurement and testing of new weapon systems for the US Army. The motto of the command is Victory starts here ( English for victory begins here ). The headquarters of the TRADOC is in Fort Monroe in the US state Virginia .

The United States Army Training and Doctrine Command is planned from 2019 together with the United States Army Materiel Command (AMC), the United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and the United States Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) to form a United States Unite Army Futures Command (AFC).

history

The Training and Doctrine Command of the US Army was set up in July 1973 in order to adequately meet the requirements of personal military training and the further development of combat techniques as the lead institution. Set up in the post-war phase of the Vietnam War and in a time of general demobilization, the TRADOC had the task of evaluating the newly gained tactical knowledge and incorporating it into the development of new combat strategies. Another reason for the central bundling of all training and strategy development within the US Army was the need to save. Since training and ensuring combat readiness represented a high cost factor, the TRADOC should also use synergy effects and bundle general weapons-related and tactical future planning. In carrying out this task, the TRADOC has made a significant contribution to the modernization, doctrinal development , training reform and realignment of the US Army and is therefore increasingly the focus of criticism.
