The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM),[2] and its subordinate Life-Cycle Management Command (LCMC)[3] are headquartered at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan.[4] TACOM is a component of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.

Organization

The complex that houses TACOM's headquarters is located at the Detroit Arsenal. TACOM has subordinate installations located at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama, Red River Army Depot in Texas, Sierra Army Depot in California, and Watervliet Arsenal in New York. TACOM also has significant numbers of personnel located at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, and Natick Soldier Center (NSC), Massachusetts.[citation needed]

Co-operations

The Detroit Arsenal also houses the laboratories and facilities of the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC), which formerly was known as the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). DEVCOM GVSC is TACOM's partner for ground vehicle technology and engineering. It is subordinate to U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM).[citation needed]

Defense Acquisition University (DAU) has a branch at TACOM, assisting with the training and certification of employees in necessary logistics and acquisition methods for the U.S. federal government. The training (and certification) is conducted by instructors at TACOM and elsewhere, providing lectures and briefings on logistics and acquisition topics.[citation needed][5]
