Holistic Health & Fitness

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.

101st, Fort Campbell CG reviews BACH's COVID-19 response preps
Blanchfield Army Community Hospital
March 24, 2020 | 1:15
The Commanding General for 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell, Major General Brian Winski visited BACH for a first-hand look at the hospital’s preparations to respond to the coronavirus, #COVID19 pandemic.

Among other measures, the hospital established a drive-up clinic for patients referred by the Nurse Advice Line or BACH’s Appointment Line where medical staff can conduct additional screening to determine if a test is necessary. Once a test for COVID-19 is administered it is sent out for processing. Patients with mild symptoms self-quarantine at home while awaiting test results.The hospital established additional COVID-19 clinic space accessible from the drive-up clinic and separated from the main hospital where healthcare providers can perform additional screening of patients under investigation away from the general population to prevent the spread of illness.

BACH’s appointment line is operating seven days a week in addition to the Nurse Advice Line to answer calls from concerned beneficiaries. BACH provides health service support to prevent, detect, and treat COVID-19 patients on Fort Campbell in order to protect the population and preserve readiness.

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.
