The United States Army Futures Command (AFC) is a United States Army command that runs modernization projects.[a] It is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
The AFC began initial operations on 1 July 2018.[7] It was created as a peer of Forces Command (FORSCOM), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and Army Materiel Command (AMC).[8][9] While the other commands focus on readiness to "fight tonight", AFC aims to improve future readiness for competition with near-peers.[10][11][12] The AFC commander functions as the Army's chief modernization investment officer.[13][14]: Section 4 [Note 1][15]
It is supported by the United States Army Reserve Innovation Command (75th Innovation Command).[16]
