The United States Army Futures and Concepts Command (FCC) is located on Fort Eustis, Virginia, as a subordinate unit of the U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM). FCC is tasked with testing management and requirements establishing for the Army's materiel, systems, training, and doctrine.
On 1 October 2003, the U.S. Army Futures Center (FC), aka TRADOC Futures Center (FC), was established as a subordinate unit to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
The Futures Center consisted of five directorates and a forward operating element:
In February 2006, U.S. Army Futures Center was redesignated U.S. Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC), with headquarters at Fort Monroe, Virginia. ARCIC had a lead role in integrating the BCT modernization program into the army.
The ARCIC was organized as three directorates and one command:
On 1 July 2018, the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC) was established, consolidating units that performed future development.
The transition from TRADOC to AFC took place ceremonially on 7 December 2018, at Fort Eustis, Virginia. It saw a reflagging of the center, and repatching of the commander and command sergeant major. At that time, ARCIC was redesignated U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Center (FCC).
The Futures and Concepts Center consisted of:
In October 2025, the Army established the Transformation and Training Command (T2COM), consolidating the Army Futures Command with Training and Doctrine Command.
Accordingly, the Futures and Concepts Center became the Futures and Concepts Command (FCC). The FCC transferred from Army Futures Command to the Transformation and Training Command. The FCC also received several units including: the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), the Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), and the Transformation Decision Analysis Center (TDAC). The DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC) and The Research Analysis Center (TRAC) have transitioned together to a new organization called the Transformation Decision Analysis Center (TDAC).
A new addition to the FCC organization is the nine Future Capability Directorates (FCDs). These are responsible for driving functional transformation by informing concepts, requirements, and experimentations. Combining what were previously the Capability Development Integration Directorates (CDIDs) and Cross-Functional Teams (CFTs), this new FCD structure improves unity of command and effort while increasing lethality by delivering critical warfighting capabilities and eliminating redundant programs.
