The Asymmetric Warfare Group was a United States Army special mission unit[2][3][4] created during the War on Terrorism to mitigate various threats with regard to asymmetric warfare. The unit was headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland and had a training facility (the Asymmetric Warfare Training Center) at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia which was specialized in breaching and subterranean warfare.[5][6] The unit provided the linkage between Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the operational Army, and reported directly to the commanding general of TRADOC.[2]
In March 2021, the AWG held a casing of the colors ceremony and officially deactivated.[7]
