reorganization of the Army structure in CONUS. Army headquarters were restructured
and reorganized, training and doctrine organizations were reorganized, and Reserves
were given a more important role in the structure. As a result, of this reorganization,
there are now ten major commands (MACOM) subordinate to the DA.
a. Training and Doctrine Command Training and Doctrine Command
(TRADOC) merged the previously separated Combat Development Command and
Service schools. It controls almost all-individual schooling (training centers and service
schools) and controls most of the development of combat equipment and organizations.
