Army Launches New Capability to Modernize Training Development

FORT BELVOIR, Va. – On October 6, 2026, the Capability Program Executive Enterprise Software and Services officially launched the Army Training Development Capability (ATDC), a new enterprise system that modernizes how training and education products are created, reviewed, approved and shared across the force.

By replacing two separate legacy tools, the Training Development Capability and the Army Training Management System Development Tool, with one modern Army capability, ATDC gives training developers a common place to build and manage products that support Soldier, leader and unit readiness. ATDC gives training developers a common place to build and manage products that support Soldier, leader and unit readiness.

For years, Army training developers worked across separate systems to create and maintain learning products. ATDC brings those functions together into a single authoritative source, helping ensure users across the Army have access to the most current and approved training materials faster.

“ATDC transitions the Army from aging, separate development tools to a modern, open and modular capability for the Army enterprise,” said Ms. Christie Murphy, product manager for the Army Training Information System (ATIS). “With a substantial body of training content available from day one, the ATDC platform is positioned to immediately support training, education and readiness across the force.”

ATDC supports a wide range of training products, including lesson plans, courses, programs of instruction, training support packages and combined arms training strategies. By connecting these products within a single environment, the system helps improve consistency, collaboration and visibility throughout the training development process.

The platform also introduces new tools designed to make work easier and faster for developers. Features such as the “AskTDC” Super Intelligence assistant, automated quality checks and document-upload capabilities help reduce manual effort and streamline the development process. Built-in collaboration and version-control tools also help teams work together more effectively while maintaining accountability and oversight.

Once approved, learning products developed in ATDC are shared across key Army systems, such the Central Army Registry and ATIS Train, helping ensure Soldiers and organizations work from the same trusted and current information. The platform also lays the groundwork for future integration with advanced Army data and analytics capabilities.

“The ATDC centralized platform ensures that Army learning products move through a clearly defined lifecycle, from development and review to approval, publication and periodic updates,” stated Ms. Cheryl Masisak, ATDC Functional Proponent, U. S. Army Combined Arms Command. “By maintaining one current and authoritative version of each product, ATDC helps ensure Soldiers and training organizations are working from the most accurate, relevant and up-to-date learning products available.”

ATDC launched with a significant library of existing content already available to users. Approximately 225,000 learning products were migrated into the system before launch, including 103,000 approved products ready for immediate use.

This milestone represents more than a technology upgrade. ATDC signifies a major step forward in how the Army develops, manages and delivers training and education. By bringing people, processes and information together in a single platform, ATDC will help ensure Soldiers have access to high-quality, up-to-date learning products wherever and whenever they are needed. As the Army continues to modernize, ATDC provides the foundation for a more agile, connected and ready force.
