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.

U.S. Army Best Medic Competitors Conduct the Army Combat Fitness Test. Soldiers are competing to be the Army's best medic in the 2021 Command Sgt. Maj. Jack L. Clark, Jr. U.S. Army Best Medic Competition (AMBC). To qualify Soldiers must have already earned the Combat Medical Badge or the Expert Field Medical Badge. The AMBC is taking place from Jan. 25-28 at Fort Gordon, Ga, Jan. 25, 2021. Soldiers are competing in teams of two. The 72- hour event is physically and intellectually challenging. The Soldiers must operate in a demanding, continuous, and realistic operational environment. Competitors must excel in events such as the Army Combat Fitness Test, rifle marksmanship, simulated combat casualty care, a 28-station obstacle course, night land navigation, water survival (which includes jumping off of a diving board into 12-feet of water), and more—including mystery events. This year’s competition takes place amid the corona virus global pandemic. The Soldiers reported early to participate in a restriction of movement process. The competition is taking place inside of a “COVID-bubble”. The bubble requires COVID testing and strict adherence to avoiding under 20 feet of contact with anyone else outside of the bubble. Even those outside of the bubble must be tested for the virus. This year’s event is hosted by the Army’s Regional Health Command-Atlantic (U.S. Army video by Spc. Genesis Miranda Spc.
