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.

Free workshop offers Camp Zama community chance to craft unique piece of Japanese culture
U.S. Army Garrison - Japan

Narration:
Rice straw was the only material Camp Zama community members needed to make
a traditional Japanese New Year's ornament during a workshop held December
19th.

Army Community Service, in collaboration with cultural experts from the
local area, led the event, in which attendees learned how to make the
ornaments, known as "shimenawa kazari."

Japanese families hang the decorations on their porches or at the entrance
of their doors as a way to drive away evil.


Interview: Yukiko Suzuki, Language and Cultural Specialist


Narration:
During the event, Mr. and Mrs. Suzuki, two language and cultural
specialists, explained the step-by-step process for how to make the
ornaments. They helped participants with some of the more intricate steps in
order to create the best possible final product. After they were done, they
could decorate their shimenawa kazari to their liking.


Interview: Stacy and Sophia Villanueva, Participants


Interview: Danielle Harris, Participant


Interview: Dwayne and Alicia Logan, Participants


Narration:
Each participant was able to take their decoration home at the end of the
workshop.

This was the first time such a class has been offered on Camp Zama. The
intent was to provide the community the chance to experience a unique part
of Japanese culture.


Interview: Maiki Mayhew, EFMP Coordinator, Army Community Service

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.
