H2F is a capabilities-based, task and environment focused, Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program. HQDA EXORD 149-19 directs the Total Army to implement the H2F System. For the Active Component (AC), H2F provides Soldiers direct access to specialized medical and mental health care providers, athletic trainers, and strength coaches at the brigade level. The ARNG model will not mirror the AC model, while still accomplishing the desired end state of improving physical fitness, injury avoidance and recovery, nutritional health, and mental/spiritual resilience.

The ARNG achieves H2F Systems goals of improving Soldier readiness and lethality, optimizing physical/non-physical performance, reducing injury rates, improving rehabilitation after injury, and increasing overall effectiveness through a Directorate enabled and State/Territory led approach which accounts for ARNG unique requirements, opportunities, constraints. The ARNG will accomplish this through a blend of material solutions, subject matter expertise, federal and state resources, and health care professionals.

Phoenix Cast [Episode 23] - The FIRST Network Battalion
U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command
March 19, 2021 | 01:04:42
In this episode of Phoenix Cast, hosts John, Kyle and Rich talk to special guest Lt. Col. Juliet Calvin, the commander of one of the newest units in the Marine Corps: the 1st Network Battalion. The 1st Network Battalion, first of its kind, is responsible for the information networks that support Marine warfighters in the western region. Lt. Col. Calvin shares the true story behind the formation of the battalion and why it matters to Marines in the Fleet Marine Force and the future of operations in the information environment for the Marine Corps.


As a brand-new unit, Lt. Col. Calvin has the distinction of serving as the first commander for this Camp Pendleton-based network battalion, the first of three battalions and three network activities securing, operating and defending the Marine Corps Enterprise Network throughout the globe. These units fall under the Marine Corps Cyberspace Operations Group, a subordinate command to Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command.


Quotables:
• “It’s on my daily battle rhythm. Reach out to two individuals in the workforce. Have a conversation with them that has nothing to do with work and has everything to do with them as an individual.”

• “There’s no one stakeholder that gets the nod every single time. I’ve got to make judgement calls every single day on who’s getting the priority of effort and sometimes that’s not a popular opinion but that’s where it comes in to play for having a commander that’s responsible for it and that’s continuously making those judgement calls ever day.”

• “From managing an entire battalion… to a reinforce fireteam at home. That’s a big deal!”

The ARNG will approach H2F as a three phased operation, including defining requirements, experimentation, and implementation. The ARNG H2F implementation strategy is not a universal “one size fits all” approach, States and Territories are afforded the flexibility to experiment through the planning process. FY21 is a planning year for States/Territories to establish those requirements; ARNG requirements will be determined through collaborative, scientific, evidence based research and experimentation. States/Territories conduct market research, small scale pilots, and analysis IOT determine their specific requirements for H2F implementation. Concurrently, ARNG G3 Training Division (TR) will institute a multi-functional working group of industry experts, collegiate human performance centers, and Army professionals to enable collaboration and requirements development. This targeted and individualized approach ensures the collective ARNG requirement possesses relevance, scalability, ease of implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency across the force. The ARNG will report the requirement findings to the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) NLT 30 SEP 2021.
