The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) was officially inactivated Friday during a ceremony at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, marking the end of the command’s 52-year history.

The event took place at 2 p.m. and honored TRADOC’s legacy of training, educating and building the Army since its creation in 1973.

The inactivation comes ahead of the establishment of the U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command, a new organization designed to prepare the Army for the future.

For more than five decades, TRADOC served as the foundation of the Army’s strength, with a mission focused on training Soldiers, developing leaders, and driving the Army’s transformation.
