FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — Maj. Gen. Christopher Beck, Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and Fort Leonard Wood commanding general, and MSCoE Command Sgt. Maj. Jorge Arzabala are scheduled to host a town hall at 2 p.m., Jan. 7 at Lincoln Hall Auditorium.
Service members and civilians working at MSCoE and Fort Leonard Wood are invited to attend and ask questions.
According to Beck, they will be discussing several topics during the town hall to include the Army’s Transformation and Training Command, or T2COM, and MSCoE’s priorities.
“There is a ton of change going on right now in the Army,” Beck said during his September on site. “What the Army needs from Fort Leonard Wood is two-fold: drive change and train,” which continue to be MSCoE’s priorities.
Those priorities will not change for MSCoE, Beck said, but what will change is how the team executes them.
The changes, outlined by Col. Micheal Kieser, MSCoE G3 Operations Directorate, are a part of MSCoE Optimization and the Army Futures Command and Army Training and Doctrine Command’s merger into T2COM.
According to Kieser, MSCoE Optimization is the restructuring and realigning of functions to ensure the center “effectively and efficiently” executes its missions across core functions and higher headquarters priorities.
“MSCoE’s assessment of its functions and structure started in 2024 and is now taking place nested with Army and higher headquarters directives to optimize force structure for a leaner, more lethal Army, focused on warfighting,” Kieser said.
He added that under T2COM, all centers of excellence, to include MSCoE, will be restructured to follow a standardized functional and organizational model.
Following initial restructuring, some centers of excellence might make some slight adjustments to the model based on assessments and special mission requirements, according to Kieser.
Some of the restructuring and realignments within MSCoE Optimization and the merger will include the consolidation of select functions within Garrison’s Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security and MSCoE G3; the establishment of a center-level Transformation and Integration Directorate, including a Directorate of Training; and the evolution of the Maneuver Support Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate to the Future Capabilities Directorate.
The beginning phase of these changes started in August, and the final phase is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026, Kieser added.
