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.

Operational washdown and agricultural inspection procedures help to ensure all biological materials are completely removed before transport in the US and abroad.

This video does the following for Navy & Marine Corps Commands:
• Defines why it’s critical to properly clean equipment and conveyances, removing any biological materials, before transport.
• Describes the steps to plan and prepare for washdown, including required equipment.
• Demonstrate the washdown process step by step, with focus on common problem areas.
• Explain the agricultural inspections required after washdown is complete.
• Provide resources and points-of-contact for additional information.

The US Navy and Navy Entomology Center of Excellence, NECE, follow several Department of Defense policies, instructions and manuals for the control of pests and invasive species. Guidance for recommended procedures to prevent introduction of invasive species is summarized in the Armed Forces Pest Management Board’s Technical Guide 31 and its supplements. Navy and DoD instructions, policies, US regulations, and other service specific instructions, referenced in the video, should be reviewed and followed in conjunction with this video. This video is separated in the following 5 Modules:

• Module 1: Introduction & Overview
• Module 2: Planning & Preparation
• Module 3: Washdown Process
• Module 4: Actions & Inspection After Washdown
• Module 5: Resources

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.
