The United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is a major command of the United States Army headquartered at Fort Eustis, Virginia. It is charged with overseeing training of Army forces and the development of operational doctrine. TRADOC operates 37 schools and centers at 27 different locations. TRADOC schools conduct 1,304 courses and 108 language courses. The 1,304 courses include 516,000 seats (resident, on-site and distributed learning) for 443,231 soldiers; 36,145 other-service personnel; 8,314 international soldiers; and 28,310 civilians.

The current commanding general of TRADOC summarizes its function as an organization to design, develop, and build[1] the Army.[2] Thus, three major commands of the Army (TRADOC, FORSCOM, and AMC) shape its present "men and materiel".[2][3]
