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.

Brig. Gen. Michael Liesmann assumed responsibility as the deputy to the commanding general (DCG) of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, Nov. 18, 2024.

The role of this new position is critical for USAICoE. The DCG will drive forward the Army’s intelligence modernization efforts and directly support the commanding general in achieving USAICoE’s mission.

As the DCG, a key responsibility is to deliver intelligence support aligned with the Army’s 2030 objectives, to ensure our intelligence capabilities meet the demands of an evolving battlefield. Looking further ahead, the DCG will also lead the design and development of intelligence support for the Army’s 2040 objectives and beyond, to enable our intelligence forces to anticipate and adapt to future threats.

A cornerstone of this role is to establish the USAICoE Fielded Force Integration Directorate (FFID) Office. This new office will be instrumental in ensuring that intelligence capabilities developed at USAICoE integrate seamlessly with operational forces, aligning modernization initiatives with real-world mission requirements. Through the FFID, the DCG will bridge the gap between innovation at USAICoE and its practical application across the force, to ensure our Soldiers are equipped with cutting-edge intelligence tools and techniques.

In this role, the DCG will shape the future of Army intelligence, bringing a unified, strategic vision that prepares USAICoE to remain Always Out Front in the face of new and complex challenges.

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.
