INSTALLATION DESIGNATION
Every installation within CONUS is under one of the major commands. The
decision as to whether an installation is designated a TRADOC, FORSCOM, AMC, or
other MACOM installation is made by determining whether the installation's major
activity is an active force (army, corps, or division), a training center or service school, a
depot, etc. For example, an installation having a corps headquarters located on it would
be designated as a FORSCOM installation; an installation containing a service school
would be designated as a TRADOC installation; and an installation with a depot would
be an AMC installation. There are only three installations in CONUS that come directly
under the USAHSC chain of command. They are; Fitzsimons Army Medical Center
Denver, Colorado; Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.; and Fort
Detrick, Maryland.
