Gen. Robert B. “Abe” Abrams relinquished command of the U.S. Army Forces Command at the Main Post Flag Pole on Fort Bragg Tuesday, Oct. 16.
FORSCOM is the Army’s largest command and serves as the force provider to combatant commanders worldwide.
Abrams took command of FORSCOM in August 2015, spearheading numerous changes during his tenure. He implemented an increased focus on readiness, repurposed hundreds of thousands of pieces of excess equipment, significantly reduced the number of non-deployable Soldiers, revamped aviation training, improved Army business practices to save the Army $38 million and instituted more rigorous training at the Combat Training Centers. He also stood up the Security Force Assistance Brigades, deploying the 1st SFAB for the advise and assist mission in Afghanistan.
