Inside the Army’s Newest Command: T2COM’s Mission to Build the Army That Fights #army #military

Coming to you from the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) annual meeting in Washington, D.C., host 12th SMA (R), Jack L. Tilley, sits down with the leadership of the Army's newest command: Lieutenant General Edmond “Miles” Brown, Acting Commanding General, and Command Sergeant Major Alexander Kupratty of the U.S. Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM). In this powerhouse episode, the command team breaks down why T2COM was established, how a 53% leaner headquarters is streamlining force generation, and how they manage a permanent party of approximately 106,000 while training over 820,000 Soldiers annually. From revolutionizing initial entry training and modernizing Combat Training Centers (JRTC and NTC) to deploying cutting-edge digital data tracking and software factories, this discussion uncovers the foundational mechanics behind the modern warfighter. Whether you are Active Duty, looking at Military Transition, or part of our incredible community of Military Families, Servicemembers, and Veterans, this episode offers an unprecedented look at how the Army builds the force that fights and wins our nation's wars.  ⁨@T2COM_HQ   #T2COM #USArmy #MilitaryLeadership #ArmyTransformation #AUSA2026 #Servicemembers #Veterans #MilitaryFamilies #YourNextMission #ArmyReadiness Chapters: 00:00 WELCOME FROM THE AUSA ANNUAL MEETING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. 00:38 YOUR NEXT MISSION® VIDEO PODCAST INTRO 01:13 PRESENTING SPONSORS & AUSA SHOUTOUT 02:15 INTRODUCING LTG EDMOND "MILES" BROWN & CSM ALEXANDER KUPRATTY 02:48 LTG BROWN ON STANDING UP T2COM & HIS MILITARY FAMILY 03:54 CSM KUPRATTY'S 30-YEAR JOURNEY FROM JROTC TO T2COM 04:49 FIRST TWO MONTHS IN COMMAND: CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE & INFRASTRUCTURE 05:49 T2COM BY THE NUMBERS: 106,000 PERMANENT PARTY & 82,000 TRAINED ANNUALLY 07:04 T2COM'S CORE MISSION & CUTTING HEADQUARTERS BUREAUCRACY BY 53% 09:18 SYNCHRONIZING RECRUITING, COMBINED ARMS, AND FUTURES & CONCEPTS COMMANDS 10:36 BATTLEFIELD CIRCULATION, COMMAND CLIMATE, AND LEVERAGING DATA 12:44 SEGMENT 1 WRAP-UP & PRESENTING SPONSOR MESSAGES 14:12 ADAPTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGY & PLACING DRILL SERGEANTS AND RECRUITERS 15:51 EVOLVING WARFARE: COACHING, TEACHING, AND BUILDING TRUST WITH SOLDIERS 17:45 GENERATING THE FORCE BEYOND RECRUITING: MOS COMPETENCIES & FORCE STRUCTURE 19:29 MODERNIZING JRTC & NTC: FORMIDABLE OPFOR AND DIGITAL BACKBONES 21:02 TRACKING SOLDIER TALENT WITH IPPS-A & THE ARMY SOFTWARE FACTORY 23:06 SEGMENT 2 WRAP-UP & SPONSOR MESSAGE 24:00 WHY PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN HARDWARE: MASTERING BASIC FUNDAMENTALS 26:16 ALIGNING THE INSTITUTION, MODERNIZING PME, AND TRAINING AMERICA'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS 28:19 FINAL THOUGHTS FROM CSM ALEXANDER KUPRATTY & LTG EDMOND "MILES" BROWN 30:13 SMA JACK L.
