Organization and Functions
Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and Direct Reporting Units
History. This publication is a major revi-
sion.
Summary. This publication continues to
establish Army headquarters to more effec-
tively support a leaner, more agile modular
force. It distinguishes the differences in
scope and responsibility of organizations. It
recognizes the Armywide role and multidis-
cipline functions of the Army commands;
the theater Army as an Army service com-
ponent command reporting directly to De-
partment of the Army and serving as the
Army’s single point of contact for combat-
ant commands; and the direct reporting
units as providing broad, general support to
the Army in a normally single, unique dis-
cipline not otherwise available elsewhere in
the Army. It identifies each organization’s
missions, functions, and command and staff
relationships with higher and collateral
headquarters and agencies.
Applicability. This regulation applies to
the Regular Army, the Army National
Guard/Army National Guard of the United
States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless
otherwise stated.
Proponent and exception authority.
The proponent of this regulation is the Dep-
uty Chief of Staff, G–3/5/7. The proponent
has the authority to approve exceptions or
waivers to this regulation that are consistent
with controlling law and regulations. The
proponent may delegate this approval au-
thority, in writing, to a division chief within
the proponent agency or its direct reporting
unit or field operating agency, in the grade
of colonel or the civilian equivalent. Activ-
ities may request a waiver to this regulation
by providing justification that includes a
full analysis of the expected benefits and
must include formal review by the activ-
ity’s senior legal officer. All waiver re-
quests will be endorsed by the commander
or senior leader of the requesting activity
and forwarded through their higher head-
quarters to the policy proponent. Refer to
AR 25–30 for specific guidance.
Army internal control process. This
regulation contains internal control provi-
sions in accordance with AR 11–2 and
identifies key internal controls that must be
evaluated (see appendix B).
Supplementation. Supplementation of
this regulation and establishment of com-
mand and local forms are prohibited with-
out prior approval from Deputy Chief of
Staff, G–3/5/7 (DAMO– SSP), 400 Army
Pentagon, Washington DC 20310–0400.
Suggested improvements. Users are
invited to send comments and suggested
improvements on DA Form 2028 (Recom-
mended Changes to Publications and Blank
Forms) directly to Deputy Chief of Staff,
G–3/5/7 (DAMO–SSP), 400 Army Penta-
gon, Washington DC 20310–0400.
Committee management. AR 15–1
requires the proponent to justify establish-
ing/continuing committee(s), coordinate
draft publications, and coordinate changes
in committee status with the Office of the
Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of
the Army, Department of the Army Com-
mittee Management Office (AARP–ZA),
9301 Chapek Road, Building 1458, Fort
Belvoir, VA 22060–5527. Further, if it is
determined that an established “group”
identified within this regulation, later takes
on the characteristics of a committee, as
found in the AR 15–1, then the proponent
will follow all AR 15–1 requirements for
establishing and continuing the group as a
committee.
Distribution. This regulation is available
in electronic media only and is intended for
the Regular Army, the Army National
Guard/Army National Guard of the United
States, and the U.S. Army Reserve.

Introduction
1 –1. Purpose
This regulation prescribes Army Commands (ACOMs), Army service component commands (ASCCs), and direct report-
ing units (DRUs) missions, functions, and command and staff relationships within the Department of the Army (DA).
a. Institutional Force. The institutional force ensures the readiness of all Army forces and consists of Army organiza-
tions whose primary mission is to generate, prepare, and sustain the operating forces of the Army. Therefore, the institu-
tional force remains under the direction and control of DA.
b. Geographic combatant command. The Army’s designation for an ASCC assigned to a geographic combatant com-
mand (CCMD) is the theater Army. This regulation will not infringe on the combatant command authority vested, by law,
in combatant commanders (CCDRs) or alter the command relationships and authorities specified by the Secretary of De-
fense (SECDEF). ASCCs will address changes in force assignment with their supported CCMD in accordance with pro-
cedures specified by the SECDEF. This regulation applies to the following Army organizations:
c. Army commands.
(1) U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM).
(2) U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
(3) U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC).
d. Army service component commands.
(1) Theater Armies—
(a) U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR)/Seventh Army.
(b) U.S. Army Central (USARCENT)/Third Army.
(c) U.S. Army Africa (USARAF)/Ninth Army.
(d) U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC).
(e) U.S. Army North (USARNORTH)/Fifth Army.
(f) U.S. Army South (USARSOUTH)/Sixth Army.
(2) Functional Commands—
(a) U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC).
(b) Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (MSDDC).
(c) U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT).
(d) U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER).
e. Direct reporting units.
(1) U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM).
(2) U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).
(3) U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC).
(4) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
(5) U.S. Army Military District of Washington (MDW).
(6) U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC).
(7) United States Military Academy (USMA).
(8) U.S. Army War College (USAWC).
(9) U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC).
(10) U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM).
(11) U.S. Army Financial Management Command (USAFMCOM).
(12) U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC).
(13) U.S. Army Civilian Human Resources Agency (USACHRA).
(14) U.S. Army Marketing and Engagement Brigade (USAMEB).
(15) Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) and U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery ( (USSAHNC).
f. General.
(1) Army General Orders provide organization missions and command authorities. AR 10–87 supplements the Army
General Orders and describes organization functions and command and staff relationships.
(2) The ASCCs exercise mission command under the authority and direction of the CCDRs to whom they are assigned
and in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the SECDEF. In the event of a discrepancy between this
regulation and the policies or procedures established by the SECDEF, the SECDEF policies or procedures take precedence.
2 AR 10–87 • 11 December 2017
(3) Per Section I of the Global Force Management Implementation Guidance, the Secretaries of the military depart-
ments may operate as “Force Providers” of Service retained forces, with discrete authorities specifically delegated by the
SECDEF. Where appropriate, this regulation codifies how the Secretary of the Army (SECARMY) delegates these discrete
authorities to the commanders of military service forces.
(4) Administrative control (ADCON).
(a) ADCON is not a command relationship. ADCON is direction or exercise of authority over subordinate or other
organizations in respect to administration and support.
(b) ADCON is synonymous with administration and support responsibilities identified in Title 10, United States Code
(10 USC). This is the authority necessary to fulfill military departments’ statutory responsibilities for administration and
support.
(c) The SECARMY’s 10 USC responsibilities are exercised through ADCON. ADCON includes organization of Ser-
vice forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readi-
ness, mobilization, demobilization, discipline, and other matters not included in the operational missions.
(d) ADCON may be delegated to and exercised by commanders of Service forces assigned to a CCDR at any echelon
at or below the level of Service component command. ADCON is subject to the command authority of CCDRs. ADCON
may be delegated to and exercised by commanders of Service commands assigned within Service authorities. Service
commanders exercising ADCON will not usurp the authorities assigned by a CCDR having combatant command authority
over commanders of assigned Service forces.
(e) Normally, ASCCs exercise ADCON responsibilities for Army forces assigned to the CCDR within their area of
responsibility (AOR). In some cases, an ACOM or DRU may share ADCON responsibilities with the ASCC for assigned
organizations deployed to an AOR in order to more efficiently and effectively support globally deployed Army forces.
(f) CCDRs exercise combatant command authority over operational Army forces assigned to the CCDR. The CCDR
normally delegates operational control (OPCON) of Army forces to the ASCC.
(g) Subject to applicable law, regulation, and policy, the allocation of authorities and responsibilities pertinent to the
exercise of shared ADCON should be documented in appropriate agreements/understandings between the commanders of
the ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs with whom ADCON responsibilities are shared.
(5) ARCYBER exercises directive authority for cyberspace operation authority (as delegated by SECDEF and U.S.
Cyberspace Command (USCYBERCOM)). ACOMs, ASCCs, DRUs, and all other Army organizations will comply with
cyberspace operations (CO)-related orders and directives issued by ARCYBER (or designated delegates). A mutual sup-
port relationship exists between ARCYBER and ACOMs, ASCC, DRUs, and all other Army organizations to secure,
operate, and defend the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN), maintain freedom of action, and deny the
same to our adversaries.
(6) The DRUs will exercise authorities as specified in regulation, policy, delegation, or other issuance.
(7) The U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) performs 10 USC support to units with Army Reserve unit identifi-
cation codes (UICs). Units with Regular Army UICs receive 10 USC support from their respective Army organization.
Units with Army National Guard (ARNG) UICs receive premobilization support from Headquarters, Department of the
Army (HQDA) through the National Guard Bureau (NGB) under Title 32 USC.

Appendix B
Internal Control Evaluation
B –1. Function
The function covered by this regulation is the organization of the Army.
B –2. Purpose
The purpose of this regulation is to prescribe ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs missions, functions, and command and staff
relationships within DA. The regulation contains internal control provisions, and identifies key internal controls for organ-
izing the Army into ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs.
B –3. Instructions
Answers to the questions below should be based on the actual testing of key internal controls (for example, document
analysis, direct observation, sampling, and simulation). Answers that indicate deficiencies should be explained and cor-
rective action indicated in supporting documentation. These key management controls must be formally evaluated at least
once every 5 years. Certification that this evaluation has been conducted should be accomplished on DA Form 11–2 (In-
ternal Control Evaluation Certification).
B –4. Test questions
The following questions assist in determining whether to designate an ACOM, ASCC, and DRU.
a. Is an Army General Order established for each ACOM, ASCC and DRU?
b. How many ACOMs (normally a 4-Star command) are required to perform 10 USC functions in the generation of
Army forces? Can the generating function be performed by a 3-Star command?
c. Is the ASCC capable of performing both operational and Army ADCON responsibilities? Is the ASCC capable of
sharing ADCON responsibilities?
d. How many DRUs does the Army require to support institutional or operational support functions? Did the
SECARMY establish appropriate authorities and reporting requires for the DRU?
e. Are there overlapping responsibilities between ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs in AR 10–87?
f. Does AR 10–87 adequately address relationships between ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs?
B –5. Supersession
There is no previous checklist for this functional area.
B –6. Comments
Help to make this a better tool for evaluating internal controls. Submit comments to Headquarters, Department of the Army
(DAMO–SSP), 400 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–0400.

ment of Army forces within a CCMD. (Source JP 1–02)
Combatant command
A unified or specified command with a broad continuing mission under a single commander established and so designated
by the President, through the SECDEF and with the advice and assistance of the CJCS. (Source JP 1–02)
Combatant command (command authority)
Nontransferable command authority, which cannot be delegated, of a CCDR to perform those functions of command over

Direct Liaison Authorized
That authority granted by a commander (any level) to a subordinate to directly consult or coordinate an action with a
command or agency within or outside of the granting command. DIRLAUTH is more applicable to planning than opera-
tions and always carries with it the requirement of keeping the commander granting DIRLAUTH informed. DIRLAUTH
is a coordination relationship, not an authority through which command may be exercised. (Source: JP 1–02)
Direct reporting unit
An Army organization comprised of one or more units with institutional or operational support functions, designated by
the SECARMY, normally to provide broad general support to the Army in a single, unique discipline not otherwise avail-
able elsewhere in the Army. DRUs report directly to a HQDA principal and/or ACOM and operate under authorities
established by the SECARMY.

ing recommendations. (Source: Global Force Management Implementation Guidance)
Service retained forces
Active Component and RC operational forces not assigned to a CCDR. These forces remain under the ADCON of their
respective military departments/Services, and are commanded by a military department/Service-designated commander
responsible to the military department/Service unless allocated to a CCDR for the execution of operational missions. (See
Service General Purpose Force Assignment Tables) (Source: Global Force Management Implementation Guidance)
Shared administrative control
The internal allocation of 10 USC 3013(b) responsibilities and functions between Army organizations for the exercise of
ADCON responsibilities and authorities of Army personnel and units. Shared ADCON will be as directed by the

ACOMs, and/or DRUs, as appropriate, will be documented in appropriate agreements/understandings. The exercise of
shared ADCON responsibilities and authorities with regard to an Army force are subject, by law, to the authority, direction,
and control of the SECDEF.
Sustainable readiness model
A structured progression of increased unit readiness over time, resulting in recurring periods of availability of trained,
ready, and cohesive units prepared for operational deployment in support of geographic CCDR requirements.
Training and readiness oversight
