What was the STEADFAST Reorganization?
Beginning in early 1972, the STEADFAST Reorganization, or Operation STEADFAST, was the project to reorganize the post-Vietnam War army to increase efficiency and command and control. The effort culminated on 01 Jul 1973 with the establishment of TRADOC and Forces Command from the former Continental Army Command and the Combat Developments Command. The documents that resulted from the massive effort are available for use at the TRADOC Military History Office. A brief account is in Prepare the Army for War: A Historical Overview of the Training and Doctrine Command 1973-1998 at http://www-tradoc.monroe.army.mil/historian/pubs/TRADOC25/DEFAULT.HTM.
