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.
History
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.[3]
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.[4]
The Army Corrections Command exercises command and control, operational oversight, and support of the ACS. ACS facilities are located at the following installations: Fort Knox, Fort Leavenworth, Fort Lewis, Fort Sill, Coleman Barracks USAREUR, and Camp Humphreys USFK.
The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASA) (M&RA) exercises Army Secretary oversight for Army Corrections, parole and clemency functions.
