FORSCOM

The United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) was established in 1973, succeeding the Continental Army Command (CONARC) as the Army's primary provider of trained and ready land forces for worldwide deployment. Headquartered at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, FORSCOM is the largest Army command, overseeing the majority of the Army's conventional combat power, including active Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard units. Throughout its history, FORSCOM has played a critical role in supporting U.S. military operations, from the Cold War era to recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, by ensuring units are prepared for rapid mobilization and deployment. Its ongoing mission is to train, mobilize, and sustain forces capable of conducting unified land operations in support of national military objectives.
