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.

From his early days in the Emergency Room to his current leadership role, CPT Luke Admire recounts the vital role nurses play in patient care, emphasizing that they are the backbone of hospital operations, always present. He discusses his hands-on experiences, from managing critical situations in the ER to stepping in wherever needed to ensure seamless patient care.

Despite the challenges and discomfort associated with leaving familiar environments, he passionately advocates for the floating nurse model. He highlights its critical importance in maintaining hospital efficiency and ensuring that patient care continues uninterrupted, especially during high-demand times. Floating nurses, with their diverse skills and adaptability, are portrayed as essential to the hospital's mission of healing and recovery.

Moreover, he reflects on the broader benefits for nurses themselves. By working in various departments such as Med-Surg and Labor & Delivery, nurses gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire patient care process. This holistic view not only enhances their professional growth but also enriches their contribution to the hospital's mission.

Join us as we explore how the flexibility and collaboration of floating nurses contribute to a more resilient and effective healthcare environment, ultimately benefiting both patients and staff at Irwin Army Community Hospital.

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.
