Profile takes a top-down approach, first describing the Army's role as a key element in the national security structure and then flowing into the "why" and "how" of the Army's organization and structure. Included is information about the current transformation to the Modular Force - one of the most significant organizational changes in the Army's history - with details on the new brigade combat teams and modular headquarters. Profile also contains information and helpful graphics on the Soldier, the Army's institutions, Army families and the Army's current operations. For readers wishing to seek more details, each chapter includes a list of relevant web sites. Appendixes include information on major Army commands (MACOMs), Army posts, a glossary of acronyms and maps illustrating locations of current Army combat corps and divisions, Army National Guard units of employment and brigade combat teams and Army Reserve regional readiness commands and divisions. Also included is a map illustrating the future active division and brigade combat team stationing and flag designations announced by the Pentagon on 27 July 2005.
