United States Army Transformation and Training Command

The United States Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) is a major command of the United States Army headquartered in Austin, Texas since October 2, 2025. T2COM unifies the functions of force design, force development and force generation; it is led by its first commander General David Hodne. The command combines the former United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the United States Army Futures Command (AFC) The command has three major subordinate units: the Futures and Concepts Command at Fort Eustis, Virginia; the Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky; and the Combined Arms Command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. At the establishment ceremony, Hodne said the Army unified "force design, force development, and force generation." He elaborated, “technology alone never transformed war. The tank, the airplane, the drone, none changed battlefields by themselves. It required new tactics, new concepts, and new organizations to integrate them into coherent warfighting systems.” The consolidation was announced by the Army in May to meet requirements from the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to reduce the number of general officers and reduce redundancies. This new plan, the Army Transformation Initiative, is designed to transform and make a smaller force structure while focusing on lethality according to Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll. The initiative is also designed to downsize, consolidate, or close redundant headquarters, according to the Secretary of Defense.

The Client Managers need to play a vital role of gathering this information through tracking the completion of key deliverables such as Standard Operating Procedures, Process maps (AS IS), Escalation Matrices which are utilized in day to day operations etc. In cases where the incumbent turns hostile and does not share information, it is best to hold Migration workshops and training sessions at the client location under the supervision of the client SMEs along with incumbent SMEs.

• Incumbent firms in sustainability transitions – Different conceptions ...

  This paper gives an overview of the state of research on the role of incumbent firms in emission-intensive economic sectors (energy supply, transportation, food supply and processing industries) in sustainability transition processes. On the basis of a systematic review of 174 case studies, the paper comes to two conclusions: Firstly, there is a lack of clear definitions and therefore some conceptual confusion regarding the question of what is actually meant by an incumbent. Secondly, the roles of incumbent firms in transition processes are usually heterogeneous, multidimensional, temporally variable and ambiguous in their implications for the transition process. On this basis, the paper makes two conceptual contributions. Firstly, it offers a (new) definition of the term “incumbent firm” [...] ## Keywords Incumbent Sustainability transitions Established firm Sectoral transformation ## Data availability Data will be made available on request. ## Cited by (0) © 2025 The Author(s).

Secondly, it formulates six ideal types of incumbent firms in sustainability transition processes that go beyond dichotomous role attributions and do justice to the ambiguity and temporal dynamics of the activities of incumbents.

• Incumbency and sustainability transitions: A systematic review and ...

  The role of incumbent firms in sustainability transitions is gaining more attention, with rapidly rising evidence of their proactive role in the change. Nevertheless, debates continue to focus on their defensive and resisting role. Studies that review the existing knowledge on incumbents' interaction with sustainability transitions are lacking. Therefore, this research applies a systematic literature review to introduce a synthesised approach to differentiate between incumbents' proactive and defensive strategies. Further, it examines these strategies more closely and proposes a level-based typology that includes organisational and management, technology development, industry and markets, and institutional. It argues that this classification has implications for scholarship, policymaking [...] has implications for scholarship, policymaking and management and highlights avoiding the sectoral bias in empirical evidence on proactive and defensive strategies and how addressing the four-level strategies by which incumbents interact with sustainability transitions contributes to creating policies and strategies that enforce an incumbent-led transition.

• Incumbent - Wikipedia

  The incumbent is the current holder of an office or position. In an election, the incumbent is the person holding or acting in the position that is up for election, regardless of whether they are seeking re-election. There may or may not be an incumbent on the ballot: the previous holder may have died, retired, or resigned; they may not seek re-election, be barred from re-election due to term limits, or a new electoral division or position may have been created, at which point the office or position is regarded as vacant or open. In the United States, an election without an incumbent on the ballot is an open seat or open contest. ## Etymology [...] Read View source View history Tools Actions Read View source View history General What links here Related changes Upload file Permanent link Page information Cite this page Get shortened URL Download QR code Print/export Download as PDF Printable version In other projects Wikidata item Appearance From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Current holder of a political office For the ecclesiastical office, see Incumbent (ecclesiastical) "Incumbent (ecclesiastical)").
