The Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness System represents the service’s largest investment in its most valuable resource—its people. To prepare for multidomain operations, the Army must holistically invest in soldiers to equip them with the physical supremacy, decision dominance, spiritual strength and emotional resilience to win the nation’s wars.
The Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System is a transformational performance readiness system, and its updates span doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leader development, personnel, facilities and policy.
From a personnel perspective, Army senior leaders have committed to the H2F System by resourcing brigade-level H2F Performance Teams consisting of physical therapists, occupational therapists, registered dietitians, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, and cognitive performance specialists. In fiscal 2021, 28 active-duty brigades received H2F Performance Teams, with the goal to field 110 brigades by fiscal 2030.
