US ARMY TRAINING COMMAND FLAG.
3’ x 4’ teal & blue, great seal in canton, circa 1980. The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is responsible for the training of all Army units as well as the blueprints by which it fights in terms Army doctrine via field manuals and related. The command was established on July 1, 1973 and oversees some 32 Army schools and training centers from Basic Training through advanced schools for enlisted, NCOs and officers. It is headquartered at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The modern command came out of the Headquarters U.S. Army Ground Forces which served during World War Two and after. In 1955 this was renamed Continental Army Command (CONARC). This was later merged with U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and in 1973 both were merged into TRADOC. TRADOC has its own colors. Within the Training Command can be found Organizational Flags. U.S. Army Training Centers that are not oriented to a specific branch (Infantry, Armor, Artillery, etc.) would have training units providing basic training. The brigades of the Training Command would have the same flag with the brigade number in the upper hoist, and battalions of the brigades would also have their battalion number under the canton, all numerals being yellow. Teal blue and yellow are the colors used for flags of most Army organizations that are not oriented to a branch of service. This unmarked flag is a generic pattern and lacks the brigade designation. CONDTION: fine overall. (02-17547-35/JS). $100-200.
