Combat Commands

Combat Commands are specialized units within the U.S. Army's armored divisions, primarily composed of tank and mechanized infantry soldiers. They serve as the primary fighting force during battles, responsible for executing offensive and defensive operations. Each Combat Command operates semi-independently, with trained officers and soldiers coordinating tactics, movement, and combat actions on the battlefield. They are essential for maneuvering large doses of firepower, securing terrain, and supporting overall division objectives. Think of them as the division’s mobile, flexible core units that deliver decisive action in combat scenarios.
