Continental Army Command

The Continental Army Command (CONARC) was a major command of the United States Army, established in 1955 as a successor to the Army Ground Forces and the Army Field Forces. Its primary mission was to oversee the training, organization, and doctrine development for Army units within the continental United States. CONARC played a pivotal role in preparing the Army for Cold War contingencies, including the integration of new technologies and the management of major training centers. In 1973, CONARC was disestablished as the Army underwent a major reorganization, with its functions divided between the newly created United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
