United States Army Corrections Command


The United States Army Corrections Command (ACC) exercises command and control and operational oversight for policy, programming, resourcing, and support of Army Corrections System (ACS) facilities and TDA elements worldwide.

On order, ACC coordinates the execution of condemned military prisoners.

Prior to its establishment in 2007, prisons operated under the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S. Army Forces Command, U.S. Army Europe, and U.S. Forces Korea.

On 2 October 2007, the US Army Corrections Command (ACC) was established as a Field Operating Agency (FOA) under the Operational Control of the United States Army Provost Marshal General, Department of the Army. It is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.

The Army Corrections Command exercises command and control, operational oversight, and support of the ACS. ACS facilities are located at the following installations: Fort Leavenworth, Fort Lewis, Coleman Barracks USAREUR, and Camp Humphreys USFK.

The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASA) (M&RA) exercises Army Secretary oversight for Army Corrections, parole and clemency functions.

ACC will standardize, eliminate command layers and streamline corrections operations across the Army.

As of 2007, it managed 1,700 civilian and military personnel, 2,300 military prisoners in military and Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities or on mandatory supervised release or parole.
