T2COM enables the Army to defeat all adversaries and adapt to the ever-changing character of war.
The entire Army recognizes T2COM as a responsive and enabling teammate. One who operates as an integrated system, empowers leaders to solve adaptive problems in support of the operational force, adjusts to the dynamic operational environment, fights to innovate, demonstrates disciplined initiative, and yields a lethal and ready Army.
T2COM redefines how the Army generates, develops, and designs its forces, creating an agile framework that ensures readiness at the speed of relevance. As the character of war evolves in real time, T2COM unifies efforts to realize an Army that is purpose-built to outpace our adversaries and win. We will value disciplined initiative and disruption to overcome the drawbacks of past processes. We will innovate with urgency. We will deliver more lethal, agile, and future-ready formations.
T2COM is a four-star Army command designed to unify force generation, force development, and force design. It has three subordinate three-star commands:
Together, these commands ensure the Army recruits the right people, trains and educates them in a way that translates to operational effectiveness, develops doctrine that matches modern threats, and delivers advanced capabilities to Soldiers in the field rapidly
T2COM is not just a headquarters — it is a team of Soldiers, Civilians, and innovators who embody the Army’s culture of empowerment, adaptation, and speed. Soldiers play a direct role in shaping modernization by participating in experiments, testing equipment, and providing feedback that informs future capabilities. Civilians bring expertise and continuity, connecting institutional change with operational needs. At its core, T2COM’s culture ensures that ideas from the field influence decisions made by senior leaders, while speed guarantees that lessons learned are quickly translated into action.
For Soldiers and leaders, transformation is not an abstract concept. Transformation is tangible in their daily service. It means training that reflects the real threats they will face in contested domains, receiving relevant and improved equipment faster to close the gap between innovation and the fight, and pursuing career pathways directly tied to modernization, doctrine, and leadership opportunities. In short, T2COM ensures transformation directly benefits the Army’s most important asset, its people.
Through force generation, force development and force design, T2COM delivers a transformed Army that is trained, ready, and equipped to win in competition, crisis, and conflict. We deliver Soldiers and leaders who are prepared to dominate the future fight, capabilities that give the Joint Force decisive advantage, and modernized institutions that enable speed, adaptability, and enduring readiness.

FORCE GENERATION: U.S. Army Recruiting Command
The U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) is responsible for Force Generation across all components through marketing, prospecting, processing, training, and managing future Soldiers, ensuring seamless integration into their first unit of assignment.
USAREC recruits and selects the very best people to crush it in any Enlisted military occupational specialty or Officer branch. Their goal is to align the best Warrior with the right job to deter, fight, and win on the future battlefield while strengthening retention and reducing attrition.
FORCE DEVELOPMENT: U.S. Army Combined Arms Command
The U.S. Army Combined Arms Command (CAC) develops full Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Materiel, Leader Development and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) requirements for divisions, corps, and theater armies while synchronizing and integrating doctrine, training, education, and leader development solutions across the six warfighting function proponents, the combined arms team, joint force, and multi-national partners. This is all accomplished through CAC's U.S. Army lead roles and T2COM core functions.
The Combined Arms Command further delivers professional military education and functional training through 20 branch and seven non-branch schools, as well as delivers individual and collective training and education support through enabling capabilities. This allows CAC to provide the Army with agile, adaptive, and expert professional Soldiers and leaders, and DOTMLPF solutions for highly capable combined arms formations to successfully conduct Unified Land Operations to shape, prevent, prevail in large scale combat operations (LSCO), and consolidate gains against peer threats in complex and contested environments.
FORCE DESIGN: U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command
The U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Command (FCC) is the engine room for Army Force Design. As a subordinate command under the U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command, FCC designs, experiments, and integrates the future force. FCC provides the conceptual and intellectual foundation for Army transformation by linking concepts, experimentation, requirements development, and scientific research.
T2COM drives transformation through collaboration with the Joint Force, industry and academia. We are eager to form new, mutually beneficial partnerships with innovative small businesses, entrepreneurs, nontraditional partners and institutes of higher education.

Hampton Roads is a competitive housing market due to its large military population. The housing market in Hampton Roads has been under pressure due to increasing demand that has not been met by new housing developments. Begin your search as soon as you receive your orders or accept your job offer.

Consider Your Commute
Fort Eustis is centrally located between Newport News and Yorktown. Traffic along I64, Jefferson Avenue, and Warwick Boulevard can be heavy during peak hours. If you choose to live in Norfolk “on the other side of the water” you should consider additional commute times due to heavy peak hour Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) traffic.
