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.

Date Created: 11 April 2018

SSGT LONG:
Frisian Flag is a multi-national exercise that takes place in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. It strengthens coalition teams and enhances total force integration.
Col George Downs:
Coalition teams are critical to success, we don’t go to war anymore without a coalition in place. And so it’s critical that we continue to maintain these relationships, to improve these relationships; because in future conflicts we will certainly be going to war as a coalition. We’re all unique, we all have a little bit different ways of doing things and so we can learn a lot from our coalition partners by taking part in exercises such as Frisian Flag.
SSGT Long:
This exercise simulates real world events in a safe training environment.

Maj Bart Vandebergh:
Frisian Flag is important because it allows us to train with each other as we would probably operate in an actual coalition mission. So, because we don’t actually train on a daily basis, with this many aircraft, Frisian Flag allows us to actually get that needed training to be able to.

SSgt Long:
Frisian Flag strengthens our alliances and demonstrates the United States commitment to a stable Europe.
Reporting from Leeuwarden, Netherlands, I’m SSgt Rebecca Long.

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.
