The United States Army Center of Military History (CMH) is a directorate within the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command.[1] The Institute of Heraldry remains within the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army.[1] The center is responsible for the appropriate use of history and military records throughout the United States Army. Traditionally, this mission has meant recording the official history of the army in both peace and war, while advising the army staff on historical matters. CMH is the flagship organization leading the Army Historical Program.

CMH is also in charge of the National Museum of the United States Army, at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
