Forces Command (FORCOMD) is a command within the Australian Army responsible for the combat brigades, the enabling and training formations reporting to the Chief of the Army with approximately 85% of the Army's personnel.[2][3][4] The Command was formed on 1 July 2009 with the amalgamation of Land Command and Training Command,[5] and is led by a major general as the Commander Forces Command (COMD FORCOMD).

History

On 27 September 2008 the Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie, announced a restructure of the army command structure named Adaptive Army.[6] The structure had remained nearly the same since the Hassett Review restructure in 1973 of Land Command and Training Command.[7]

In October 2022, the 9th Brigade was placed under the command of Forces Command.[8] In July 2023, the 1st, 3rd and 7th Brigades were placed under the command of the 1st (Australian) Division.[9] The Combat Training Centre and 39th Operational Support Battalion were placed under the command of Forces Command.[9]

In June 30, 2024, the 8th Brigade was placed under the command of Forces Command.[10] The 17th Sustainment Brigade was transferred from Forces Command to the 1st Division on 15 November 2024.[11] The 6th Brigade was disbanded on 13 December 2024, with its units being transferred to other headquarters.[12][13]
